Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Add some notes about setting up GuixSD filesystems
Date: Sat, 19 Dec 2015 22:00:49 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1450580065.git.leo@famulari.name> (raw)

At least two people made the same mistake while installing GuixSD in the
last day: me and aeva on #guix both didn't realize that the device field
of the file-system configuration should match the label of the partition
it is describing. This leaves the system unbootable (fixable, but
unbootable).

This patch is an attempt to help users understand the relationship
between their partition labels and the GuixSD file-system configuration.

I adapted /etc/configuration/bare-bones.scm when I made the mistake. I'm
sure many users will adapt these example configurations for their first
installation, so these edits primarily address those users.

Thoughts?
