I think you hit the /dev/shm issue described in a footnote (info "(guix)
Setting Up the Daemon").

(Of course, re-open this bug if this is not the case.)

I=E2=80=99m not sure how to better avoid that situation.  Perhaps =E2=80=98=
guix-daemon=E2=80=99
could explicitly check whether /dev/shm is a symlink and emit a warning
if it is?

OTOH this won=E2=80=99t be a problem on the GNU distro where everything wil=
l be
correctly setup.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
