Nothing=E2=80=99s omitted, this is working as expected: /bin and /etc will = be populated at activation time (i.e., when you boot the system), and of course populating /home, /run, etc. is up to users and daemons. > About GNU Shepherd, > 'shepherd -c /guix/gnu/store/naxj2x6i83bba7a2h5dmpz4sclxqifxk-shepherd.co= nf -l /home/jin/shepherd.log' > sample: > > starting services... > Service root-file-system has been started. > Service user-file-systems has been started. > failed to start service 'file-systems' > failed to start service 'file-system-/dev/pts' > failed to start service 'file-system-/dev/shm' > failed to start service 'file-system-/gnu/store' > failed to start service 'file-system-/sys/fs/cgroup' > failed to start service 'file-system-/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset' > failed to start service 'file-system-/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu' > failed to start service 'file-system-/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct' > failed to start service 'file-system-/sys/fs/cgroup/memory' > failed to start service 'file-system-/sys/fs/cgroup/devices' > failed to start service 'file-system-/sys/fs/cgroup/freezer' > failed to start service 'file-system-/sys/fs/cgroup/blkio' > failed to start service 'file-system-/sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event' > failed to start service 'file-system-/sys/fs/cgroup/hugetlb' > failed to start service 'user-processes' > Service host-name has been started. > failed to start service 'user-homes' > failed to start service 'nscd' > failed to start service 'guix-daemon' > failed to start service 'urandom-seed' > failed to start service 'syslogd' > failed to start service 'loopback' > > Is it necessary to have the services started correctly to run 'guix syste= m init ..' ? No, not at all; =E2=80=98guix system init=E2=80=99 can even be run on a for= eign distro. BTW, notice that on GNU/Hurd the file systems above aren=E2=80=99t availabl= e. So you=E2=80=99ll need to adjust (gnu system file-systems) to not try to mo= unt them. HTH, Ludo=E2=80=99.
