Hi,

In my Guix SD installation, I have the following contents inside
/var/guix/gcroots:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 ago 24 16:45 booted-system -> /run/booted-system
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 ago 24 16:45 current-system -> /run/current-system
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 52 ago 24 16:45 grub.cfg -> /gnu/store/rvcr64gcqvay3g68bsrbcp9kahsnh7an-grub.cfg
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 ago 24 16:44 profiles -> /mnt/var/guix/profiles

However, /mnt/var/guix/profiles does not exist (there is nothing in
/mnt). Shouldn't it point to /var/guix/profiles?

I have tried a fresh installation, closely following instructions in the
manual, and it happens there as well. I am using 0.10 installation USB
image, I don't know if it happens with 0.11.

Can someone explain if this symlink is correct, and what is its purpose
in that case?

Thanks!

Carlos
