The ???mount??? system call; see (gnu build file-systems).
I confess, I have not really thought about this before. But supposing somebody
has in their /etc/config.scm:
(file-systems
(cons*
(file-system
(device "my-root")
(title 'label)
(mount-point "/")
(type "ext4"))
(file-system
(device "fileserver.example.com:/home")
(title 'device)
(mount-point "/home")
(type "nfs4"))
%base-file-systems))
Would the /home filesystem then get mounted on boot?

The strategy is to stick to what upstream does, in general, and I???m not
convinced splitting would buy us much (in terms of disk usage, for
instance.)
In general I think that is a sensible strategy. Splitting, would not buy us
anything
in terms of disk space, but I think it would mean less rebuilding when some
configure
option needs to be changed.
