I cannot tell. I had some fs errors and run e2fsck several times. Maybe that removed the link? But since then, I had done several reconfigures. I'd expect those to recreate it again. >> # guix system switch-generation 14 >> substitute: updating list of substitutes from >> 'https://berlin.guixsd.org'... 100.0% >> substitute: updating list of substitutes from >> 'https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org'... 100.0% >> The following derivation will be built: >> /gnu/store/31bxx2nwp3lxzdkcy8bmybabfl1pi0af-grub.cfg.drv >> Von Generation »10« zu »14« gewechselt >> $ diff /var/guix/gcroots/bootcfg /boot/grub/grub.cfg >> ## no-output, grub.cfg has still the same content-> >> /var/guix/gcroots/bootcfg changed >> # guix system reconfigure confs/config.scm >> ## mentions expected grub error >> $ diff /var/guix/gcroots/bootcfg /boot/grub/grub.cfg >> see diff [2] >> >> it does not seem to update /var/guix/gcroots/bootcfg. >> and bootcfg somehow lists the generation number in the default entry. > > Are you saying that ‘guix system switch-generation’ does not update the > target of the /var/guix/gcroots/bootcfg symlink?
