That's not what I see: df -h says that there are 0 bytes left on /.  
cow-store can't retroactively fix that.

If you don't want to reboot, you could try

   # mount -o remount,size=90% /

I really recommend adding some swap before doing so, though.  2 GiB of 
RAM is not much for Guix, and 1 GiB is already wasted^Wused to store 
files.

What *I* would do in your situation is to save your generated config.scm 
(if any) to /mnt, reboot, immediately mount /mnt, remove at least 
/mnt/var/guix (if it exists), swapon any swap partitions you might have, 
start the cow-store on /mnt, then run guix system init 
/mnt/etc/config.scm.  Something like that.  I'd not spend time 
recovering a live system that's already using over 50% of RAM.

The installer should have started cow-store for you during the final 
INSTALL-SYSTEM phase.

Does this mean you ran out of space even before completing the automated 
installation?  Why did you switch to manual mode?  I feel like I'm 
missing something here.

Kind regards,
