Re: guix system vm, QEMU, virtfs, and the security_model option

Jumping in here briefly. I had installed Guix Debian Gnu/Hurd as a VM in QEMU. It work completely fine and I thought that I would keep it for some tasks. However it gobbled up disk space like crazy and I've since removed it. The install was simple and no issues. On 6/2/24 12:55AM, Efraim Flash
