Alright, I finally got your modified file into my system declaration to test it. Guix has a steep learning curve, and am glad to be getting better at hacking on it every now and then. Now this error message doesn't appear any more. While entering `mount.davfs host ~/foo`, I get a: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- bash: /home/ss2/.guix-profile/sbin/mount.davfs: No such file or directory --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- and trying it with `/run/setuid-programs/mount.davfs host ~/foo`: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- /run/setuid-programs/mount.davfs: no entry for /home/ss2/foo found in /etc/fstab --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Which has to do with the fact that this mount does not exist in /etf/fstab. But so far there is no way to put an URL into system declaration. The manual states that there can only be a file system label, UUID or the name of a /dev node. So I simply tested it by manually adding a mount to /etc/fstab, and it didn't work there either. I'm not really sure what to do now. Shall I post a bug report? And if, it may well be necessary to extend the file-systems module to accommodate webdav mount points. I'm not sure if it is high on anyone's agenda, or if I could make a feature request to have this implemented. It seems to me, that it doesn't happen that often someone would need to mount a webdav.
