mounting a directory in a system container

mounting a directory in a system container

I really like the --expose and --share options from guix system vm but I
really would prefer to use a system container (mostly for the shared
resources). I tried adding the directory in the file-systems section of
my OS-config but it just failed to mount. Any suggestions?

(file-systems (cons
               (file-system
                (device "/data")
                (mount-point "/data")
                (type "none")
                (flags '(read-only bind-mount))
                (check? #f)
                (create-mount-point? #t))
               %base-file-systems)

I also added (service udev-service-type) to my services.

Thanks everyone for being my rubber ducky! On a whim I checked the
manual and it mentioned --share and --expose for containers also and it
worked for me. It would appear that the 'guix system --help' text isn't
complete.
