I am currently using dwm+dmenu. But I have already tried the above and it works. It is useful for general hot-swapping.

In this case, I would like to manage things with guix. And I want a specific file-system to be mounted at a specific mount-point (home directory), upon every boot.

The directory becomes writable only by root. I am able to manually change the permissions, but it resets on every boot.

Regards,
RG.
