I have a second btrfs drive that I normally manually mount as /mnt/1tb.
I decided to add it to my system config and it when I reconfigure it
mounts the drive correctly, but when I reboot I get the error:

Hi,
hmm, where's the "file-systems" form in your system config?
The first important part is whether your file-system entry is needed-for-boot? or not.

So it defaults to needed-for-boot? #f.
I think this is a real bug.
There is code in Guix to create an initrd. It will also create a correct
modules.devname and also create a linux-boot module which will run on
system boot and set up some files in /dev (reading from modules.devname),
among those btrfs-control, IF THERE'S A btrfs FILESYSTEM WITH
needed-for-boot? #t .
Here there isn't. So the initrd won't create /dev/btrfs-control .
But when needed-for-boot? is #f that means the file system will be mounted
somewhen later (not in the initrd) when the root fs and store is already there.
That means there should be a shepherd service or activation part that
parses linux-libre*/modules.devname and creates the still-missing /dev entries.
Where is that part? It should be either a dependency of the part that mounts
the filesystem or just be right before it. So we need a backtrace...

You're a genius! This appears to have fixed the problem, Although it
increases my boot time by 5 seconds or so. I guess shepherd doesn't have
the ability to load such things in parallel yet.
