Hi Guix,
IpPulled and updated to guix describe:
---------------------
Generation 19 Oct 24 2019 22:37:20 (current)
guix 6caa739
repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
branch: master
commit: 6caa7392d8e51f5ef26e9efaa867ca5f9e1cac91
---------------------
but lsblk -f still looks like this:
---------------------

where it should look like: (got this using foreign /usr/bin/lsblk -f)

The `lsblk` program requires root privileges in order to detect file
systems and UUIDs. I'm guessing your distribution makes it setuid root?
To do the same on Guix System, see the "Setuid programs" section of the
manual. You would need something along these lines in your config:
(operating-system
[...]
(setuid-programs (cons #~(string-append #$util-linux "/bin/lsblk"))
%setuid-programs))
Does that work for you?

'guix refresh -u' only works in combination with the './pre-inst-env'
script, because it tries to modify your Guix directly.
In any case util-linux is already the latest version.

It doesn't look like it to me (the following snip is from TTY4, where I enabled guix paths and environment,
so I can see ~/.guix-profile and /usr stuff at the same time):
Ok, I'm back from TTY4 with some stuff (enclosed by the tagged snip lines):

I did:
/usr/bin/strace -ittyko lsblkusr.strace lsblk -f
in "foreign" mode and
/usr/bin/strace -ittyko lsblk.strace lsblk -f
in "guix mode"
I used /usr/bin/strace in both cases because it has the -k option and the guix version doesn't.
IDK if that could be an iffy combination, but it seemed to work.
I looked at both outputs, and saw something strange in the guix mode trace which was not in the foreign version: oom references:

I assume the column widths are computed by internally buffering the outputs called for for each heading,
and values under those headings and determining the widest, and then formatting to that width plus padding.
That is consistent with the above if you assume that guix's lsblk got a null string where it unsuccessfully
tried to get FSTYPE, LABEL, and UUID values, e.g. showing headings and the lines ending in /boot: from above:
/usr/bin/lsblk successfully retrieved

I think it might "work" (produce the desired output) -- but so would intercepting
lsblk in /usr/local/bin and brute forcing /usr/bin/lsblk or su -c 'lsblk -f'
(didn't try, but think so, don't want to :).
BTW, su -c 'lsblk -f' does "work," but I don't like that "solution" ;-)
I have a hunch there's something that needs to be fixed for real,
but I could well have done something stupid :)

Indeed, there are no setuid bits there.
I had a look at the lsblkd source code, and found that it has an
optional dependency on udev:
https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/blob/ccafadb7c58865f73d209fcfc74483be96cdf64d/misc-utils/lsblk-properties.c
I tried building util-linux with udev support, and got the same output
you expected without needing root privileges:
(define-public util-linux/udev
(package/inherit
util-linux
(name "util-linux-with-udev")
(inputs
`(("udev" ,eudev)
,@(package-inputs util-linux)))))
Now, eudev already depends on util-linux, so adding udev support to the
regular 'util-linux' package would introduce a circular dependency.
I'm not sure what the best approach here is. We could add a
'util-linux-minimal' for use in package inputs, and/or add a
udev-enabled variant to %base-packages.
Thoughts?

I think the latter is fine and can be done right away on ‘master’.
WDYT?

I'm a guix newbie :)
I don't yet understand the internal dependency machinery of guix,
so I'm wondering about the exact nature of the circularity.
Is it really a kind of (let((... that needs to be a let*((...
at some level? And which level of dependency are we talking about?
I mean, everything is ultimately dependent on sources and translators
in succession, but we identify intermediate collections and call them
libraries or packages or scripts or executables etc.
E.g., if part of the build sequence produces an obj library, is an interdependency
between two library elements a circular dependency if that requires two passes
for the linker to resolve? (i.e., the second is dependent on the library, but
only as container of the other element).
What is the chain of dependency that yields a user cmdline lsblk executable
on my $PATH ? As a user, I don't much care beyond hoping guix pull will keep
the functionality at my finger tips (thanks maintainers :), but...
But once I start wanting a handy customization of something, I want it
to be trivial to compose trivial things, which for me starts at a shell
command line, composing a one-liner, and then writing two-line scripts
when I find myself re-typing a lot, and so on, to things like examples
in info guile, including C extensions.
So, my thought is that whatever the solution is that puts lsblk on my $PATH,
I want the system for it to be cherry-picker-friendly.
By that I mean I want to be able to make tiny things from cherry-picked ("stolen" ;-)
snippets/elements of something big and having the net result be minimal -- unless I really
do e.g. want a busybox monolith for other reasons than puts "Hello World".
Also, being a command line user, I want to be able to access any functionality from there ;-)
That BTW includes graphics: I would like to be able to run any GUI program in headless mode
and get graphic buffer output, or streams.
Likewise, I would like guix build tools to be able e.g. to cherry-pick the sources of a browser
to get the functionality that renders an html <table ...> ...</table> to sRGB buffer
(assuming sources are modularized cherry-picker-friendly :) without incorporating more than necessary,
(and automatically doing the license/attribution stuff ;-)
IOW, sort of treating any large application's (or a kernel's! :) sources as a kind of library.
Of course, I know cherry-picker-friendly is a dream, but I think it's a nice dream :)
So I think it should be a design goal for FOSS to be easily snarfed.
Life could be a bowl of cherries if enough people descide to be friendly ;-)

The circular dependency is straightforward: eudev *requires* util-linux
as part of its build process. Thus, eudev has util-linux as an input.
That version of util-linux can not depend on eudev, because we can not
build eudev without a working util-linux package.
Wrt the rest of the message, I share your sentiment, and think we will
get there. 'guix build --with-git-url' is pretty close already. :-)
