Hi Guix,
I want to try `/gnu/store` to a separated partition, which has more capacity for packages, for this I use following configuration:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(operating-system
...
(bootloader (bootloader-configuration
(bootloader grub-bootloader)
(target "/dev/vda")))
(file-systems (cons* (file-system
(device "/dev/vda1")
(mount-point "/")
(type "ext4"))
(file-system
(device "/dev/sda1")
(mount-point "/gnu/store")
(needed-for-boot? #t)
(type "ext4")
(create-mount-point? #t))
%base-file-systems))
...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
but using this configuration, GRUB theme wont boot correctly and I receive following error during boot:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
error: no such device:
/gnu/store/...-linux-libre-5.1.16/bzImage.
error: file
`/gnu/store/...-linux-libre-5.1.16/bzImage` not found.
error: you need to load the kernel first.
Press any key to continue...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
could anyone help me on this matter?
Thanks,
Reza

Though I'm not as familiar with this issue, I think I can help.
GRUB is looking for the kernel and other boot info in your OS's root
partition, /dev/vda1. However, your actual kernel is in /dev/sda1. To
get GRUB to boot properly, you need to specify in grub.cfg to look
in /dev/sda1. I do not know if it is possible to do this in a guix
configuration, and am too tired right now to do the research to explain
it (11:30PM local), but I hope this is a good start.

Thanks for you reply. I tried to install GuixSD on a DigitalOcean
droplet and wanted to use a "Block Storage" as my store
location.
I contact their support, and it seems that they don't support
this, and Block Storages are only accessible after boot.
Best,
Reza

So you mean that both vda and sda are on Digital Ocean's servers or that
vda is on Digital Ocean and that sda is on you own local machine?

Both were on DigitalOcean. Main SSD was accessible but the Block Storage
(known as sda) wasn't accessible form GRUB command line interface.
Best,
Reza

I assume that /dev/sda is the block storage on Digital Ocean, not on
their local machine.
