Hi Guix,
I'm having some issues with my nfs storage on Guix System.
Here is the part of my configuration that deals with mounting the nfs
device.
(define nfs-valhalla
(file-system
(device "fafner:/srv/nfs4/Valhalla")
(mount-point "/media/Valhalla")
(options "auto,_netdev,timeo=10")
(type "nfs4")
(mount? #f)
(check? #f)))
(operating-system
;; …
(file-systems
(cons*
;; …
nfs-valhalla
%base-file-systems)))
cat /etc/fstab:
---✂----------------------------------------------------------------------------
…
fafner:/srv/nfs4/Valhalla /media/Valhalla nfs4 auto,_netdev,timeo=10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see Guix creates it just fine in /etc/fstab. I can manually
mount it. But if it's mounted when I'm shutting down the system it will
block. Sheperd will wait for some process to finish (which I assume is
the nfs mount). It works fine if I manually unmount it before shutting
down.
If I set it to mount on boot, it wont reach the tty prompt. Instead it
will get stuck somewhere along the boot process (grub menu to the
rescue). I do see shepherd failing to mount it after I've run guix
system reconfigure.

shepherd: Evaluating user expression (and (defined? (quote transient?)) (map (#
?) ?)).
guix system: warning: exception caught while executing 'start' on service

In procedure mount: mount "fafner:/srv/nfs4/Valhalla" on "///media/Valhalla":

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So that's probably what's happening during boot.
I have no idea how it transforms the mount-point from "/media/Valhalla"
to "///media/Valhalla" and if that's a red herring.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
