Also had this exact same problem. Looking at patch #56880, it tried to add the shared option, but found that the `mount(2)` syscall had to be called twice, once to mount it, then once to make the already existing mount shared, so just adding the bit-flag `MS_SHARED` to that syscall didn't work. The patch seems to not include that bitflag until someone needed it enough to implement calling `mount(2)` twice. Pretty sure the option doesn't do anything because it doesn't change the bit-flag in the `mount-flags-&gt;bit-mask` procedure at https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/build/file-systems.scm#n1155<br/><br/>So the bug seems to be intentional, and a fix would have to have guix first mount the filesystem normally, then change it to a shared mount.
