We could improve on that by making the store and overlay over said 9p mount such that writes would go elsewhere (similar to ‘cow-store’ in the installer). About ‘guix gc --references’ specifically: in theory it should be not require write access to the store, but in practice guix-daemon always assumes write access when a client connects, that’s why.
