Do you want this to be mounted on boot? I don’t think there’s a way to express that a mount should happen after the network has come up (yet). You can only tell Guix not to try to mount the disk on boot. Use auto-mounting to mount the disk on demand at a later point. (We don’t have a service for autofs yet.)

Is any kernel firmware loading mechanism involved or do you suspect an xorg configuration problem? -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
