Re: guix shell: error: mount: Invalid argument

[bbb ee <blasforr@gmail.com>]

I have posted in the help mailing list, because I want to be sure that the
command doesn't run is not because of bad usage from me. Apparently, my
usage is correct, it is from my environment.

I will also post a bug report. But the difficulty to get help for this
problem is to provide a reproducible test. I have tried to reproduce this
issue in a guix container
```
dev_1@dev_1 /mnt/recoverData$ guix shell --no-cwd --network --container guix
dev_1@dev_1 ~ [env]$ guix-daemon &
dev_1@dev_1 ~ [env]$ guix shell --container coreutils -- echo Elmo
accepted connection from pid 3, user dev_1
substitute: guix substitute: warning: ACL for archive imports seems to be
uninitialized, substitutes may be unavailable
..
```
The issue with my reproducible test is that the guix in guix container
doesn't find any substitute, so it will compile all package, which will
take time.
