Hello Guix!=0A=0AI wanted to make use of my memory card slot in my X200-T=
 and decided to use it to store cloned git repos. I have placed a 32GB ca=
rd, with formatted btrfs file-system, with label "repo". I wanted to auto=
-mount this file-system at ~/repo. So I used the following in 'file-syste=
ms' section of my config.scm.=0A=0A  (file-systems (append=0A            =
     (list (file-system=0A                         (device (uuid "1234-AB=
CD"))=0A                         (mount-point "/")=0A                    =
     (type "btrfs")=0A                         (needed-for-boot? #t)=0A  =
                       (dependencies mapped-devices))=0A                 =
      (file-system=0A                         (device (file-system-label =
"repo"))=0A                         (mount-point "/home/user/repo")=0A   =
                      (type "btrfs")=0A                         (needed-f=
or-boot? #f)))=0A                 %base-file-systems))=0A=0ANow, the setu=
p work and the file-system 'repo' gets auto-mounted at ~/repo. But I am f=
acing two issues:=0A=0A[1] ~/repo becomes 'root protected' and stays like=
 that.=0A[2] Despite declaring `(needed-for-boot? #f)`, system does not b=
oot when the memory card is absent/unplugged.=0A=0AHow do I overcome thes=
e issues?=0A=0AThank you!=0A=0ARegards,=0ARG.
