The ISO9660 filesystem code doesn't find its primary volume descriptor when= it's looking for it on the (fake) partition. (I'm not sure what the fake = partition is for in the first place). But /proc/partitions would have contained "sda" itself, Guix just filters i= t out. Of course we could special-case ISO9660 - but even easier (and less surpris= ing) would be to just use /proc/partitions as-is and not fiddle with it (ok= , maybe filter out the ram disks - not sure what that's about). WDYT?
