container issues

[Ben Woodcroft]

Hey,

I'm on newest master (45147b0), is something amiss?


$ ./pre-inst-env guix environment --ad-hoc -C ruby
In execvp of fsck.none: No such file or directory
'fsck.none' exited with code 127 on /home/ben/git/guix; spawning REPL

I also cannot quit this terminal as it keeps respawning. Any ideas?

thanks
ben

I'm able to reproduce this on my GuixSD laptop, but not on my
Guix+Ubuntu system.  Very interesting.  I will try to investigate
further when I get a chance.  Anyone should feel free to fix it before
I do. ;)

Thanks for the report,

I'm on Ubuntu so it isn't GuixSD specific. Using git bisect I found this 
commit to be where it stops working for me:

be21979d85304fedd5c0fb970ffc337d220eda7a is the first bad commit
commit be21979d85304fedd5c0fb970ffc337d220eda7a
Author: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
Date:   Tue Dec 22 00:25:40 2015 +0100

     file-systems: Add a 'mount?' field.

     Fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/22176>.
     Reported by Florian Paul Schmidt <mista.tapas@gmx.net>.

     * gnu/system/file-systems.scm (<file-system>)[mount?]: New field.
     (file-system->spec): Adjust accordingly.
     * gnu/services/base.scm (file-system-dmd-service): Return the empty 
list
     when FILE-SYSTEM has 'mount?' set to false.
     (user-processes-service): Select the subset of FILE-SYSTEMS that 
matches
     'file-system-mount?'.
     * doc/guix.texi (File Systems): Document it.



Thanks,
ben

PS. It would be good to get your opinion on the Ruby reproducibility 
thread in guix-devel, in case you haven't noticed it.

This commit changes the ABI (namely, <file-system> structures now have
an additional field, and since structure accessors are inlined, all
users of <file-system> need to be rebuilt.)

Could you try ‘make clean-go && make’ as I suggested elsewhere?

Thanks!

It works for me on GuixSD.

This comes from ‘mount-file-system’ in (gnu build file-systems), called
from (gnu build linux-container).

I suspect an ABI issue if you haven’t rebuilt since be21979d
(Dec. 22nd.)

Could you run ‘make clean-go && make’ and then retry?

TIA, and happy GNU year!

You suspect correctly, all good. I'll make sure to do that in future 
before submitting a bug report.

May all the bugs reported to you be false!

Thanks,

Good to hear.  ABI breaks are infrequent but when they happen, people
building from Git had rather rebuild.

:-)

Thanks for your feedback,
