There are reports from users with inconsistencies in ownership, it seems that at least /var/guix is sometimes left with wrong owner, but maybe even parts of the store? I cannot verify that.
The guix-ownership service checks /gnu/store ownership to check if the whole store and all files important for the daemon (/etc/guix, /var/guix) are owned by the appropriate user. If the folder isn't owned by appropriate user, it moves to those steps: 1. Fix permissions in /gnu/store - first under it, then /gnu/store itself as last step 2. Fix /var/guix 3. Fix /etc/guix 4. Fix /var/log/guix So from those laid out steps it should be obvious that if guix-ownership service somehow stops between steps 1 and 2, it will never recover ownerships of /var/guix, /etc/guix and /var/log/guix. /gnu/store should change owner as last. On the other hand it feels much of a coincidence users would be consistently hitting reboots between those steps. So maybe I am overlooking another thing. I checked the file-system-fold, it goes to /gnu/store as last, so that would mean putting step 1 after 4 should fix that. Still, maybe only /gnu/store itself should be skipped instead of moving the step, and done as last, step 5 to ensure it's fine even if file-system-fold somehow changed the ordering? Not sure how exactly it should behave in that regard. Regards Rutherther
