Dear All I am refactoring a freshly-installed system configuration in the ORG Literate Programming style. After each change I do guix system reconfigure to catch mistakes and errors.
While following https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/File-Systems.html I encountered a new system error, when I tried to use the file-system-label procedure: #+begin_src scheme (type "vfat") (mount-point "/boot/efi") ;; (device (uuid "4E57-A066" ;; 'fat32)) (device (file-system-label "izumi-esp")) #+end_src $ LC_ALL=C sudo guix system reconfigure config.scm -v 4 Password: /home/marek/src/izumi/config.scm:22:28: error: file system with label 'izumi-esp' not found $ ls /dev/disk/by-partlabel/ izumi-esp izumi-swap izumi-system According to the manual, I should be able to do away with the UUID identifier in my configuration. Is this a regression or outdated manual? Is there anything I could do to be able to identify the partitions with labels? =============================================================== Below is the full configuration file for those interested. $ cat izumi.org #+title: Configuration of the Izumi computer -*- mode: org -*- #+author: Marek Paśnikowski #+startup: content #+property: header-args:scheme :noweb yes #+property: header-args:scheme+ :noweb-prefix no * Guix https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/en/html_node/index.html ** System Configuration https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/System-Configuration.html *** Using the Configuration System https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Using-the-Configuration-System.html #+name: OPERATING-SYSTEM-DERIVATION #+begin_src scheme :tangle config.scm (use-modules (gnu)) (use-package-modules certs) (use-service-modules cups desktop networking ssh xorg) (operating-system <<OS-RECORD>>) #+end_src *** operating-system Reference https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/operating_002dsystem-Reference.html #+name: OS-RECORD #+begin_src scheme (kernel-arguments (append %default-kernel-arguments (list "nomodeset"))) (bootloader (bootloader-configuration <<BOOTLOADER-CONFIGURATION-RECORD>>)) (keyboard-layout <<MAIN-KEYBOARD-LAYOUT-RECORD>>) (host-name "izumi") (mapped-devices (list (mapped-device <<ENCRYPTED-STORAGE-RECORD>>))) (file-systems (append %base-file-systems (list (file-system <<EFI-PARTITION-RECORD>>) (file-system <<SYSTEM-PARTITION-RECORD>>)))) (swap-devices (list (swap-space <<SWAP-PARTITION-RECORD>>))) (users (append %base-user-accounts (list (user-account <<USER-MAREK-RECORD>>)))) (packages (append %base-packages (list nss-certs))) (timezone "Europe/Warsaw") (locale <<LOCALE-STRING>>) (services (append %base-services (list (service <<NETWORK-MANAGER-SERVICE-OBJECT>>) (service <<NTP-SERVICE-OBJECT>>) (service <<OPENSSH-SERVICE-OBJECT>>) (service <<WPA-SUPPLICANT-SERVICE-OBJECT>>)))) #+end_src *** file-systems https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/File-Systems.html #+name: EFI-PARTITION-RECORD #+begin_src scheme (type "vfat") (mount-point "/boot/efi") ;; (device (uuid "4E57-A066" ;; 'fat32)) (device (file-system-label "izumi-esp")) #+end_src #+name: SYSTEM-PARTITION-RECORD #+begin_src scheme (type "xfs") (mount-point "/") (device "/dev/mapper/izumi") (dependencies mapped-devices) #+end_src *** mapped-devices #+name: ENCRYPTED-STORAGE-RECORD #+begin_src scheme (source (uuid "b06171fb-beb4-46b1-bac6-aa65675d240a")) (target "izumi") (type luks-device-mapping) #+end_src *** swap-devices #+name: SWAP-PARTITION-RECORD #+begin_src scheme (target (uuid "5fe1a209-6ff9-4586-a61c-19187d33ba3b")) #+end_src *** users The list of user accounts ('root' is implicit). #+name: USER-MAREK-RECORD #+begin_src scheme (name "marek") (comment "Marek Paśnikowski") (group "users") (home-directory "/home/marek") (supplementary-groups (list "audio" "netdev" "video" "wheel")) #+end_src *** keyboard-layout #+name: MAIN-KEYBOARD-LAYOUT-RECORD #+begin_src scheme (keyboard-layout "pl") #+end_src *** locale #+name: LOCALE-STRING #+begin_src scheme "pl_PL.utf8" #+end_src *** services Below is the list of system services.
