Hi, using the Guix graphical installation method, one cannot install Guix on a drive with more than 1 TiB. (symptom: "null pointer dereference" in mkpart)
The reason is a bug in guile-parted. An example is to use the "separate /home" option with a 2 TiB disk. The fix that lets me install is: (for https://gitlab.com/mothacehe/guile-parted.git master) diff --git a/parted/unit.scm b/parted/unit.scm index 6818b7e..68862a8 100644 --- a/parted/unit.scm +++ b/parted/unit.scm @@ -147,7 +147,7 @@ out-range))) (if (return-int->bool result) (values (car - (parse-c-struct c-sector (list int))) + (parse-c-struct c-sector (list sector-type))) (pointer->geometry (dereference-pointer out-range))) (values #f #f))))) However, even after that, disk-print, if used, prints nonsensical (negative) values for "free" (but installation succeeds). That bug prevents graphical installation on any drive bigger than 1 TiB. Let's make a bugfix Guix release shortly.
