I figured out that I can just do "mount -o rw,remount /gnu/store", followed by "find /gnu/store/trash -depth -delete", and then "guix gc" will actually finish its work. Still, I feel that all the problems I listed in my previous message are in fact bugs. Also, if anyone can tell me what the equivalent of "guix gc --delete-generations" is for inferiors, and/or how to tell whether particular inferiors are in use and by what, I'd appreciate it. The manual is not at all informative about what inferiors should be used for, nor about how to work with them at the command line. zw
