Great idea, except LVM does not offer redundancy. I run nearly whole disk LVM
on top of symmetrical RAID-1 via Mdadm everywhere I go.

Thank you Felix for the deep answers, at times a bit too deep for me.
I am under impression, that I should be fine with this workflow:
1. reconfigure filesystem layout;
2. shut down the system;
3. copy the data to the new physical location;
4. boot the new generation.
Is this correct?

With the caveat below, it should be no problem. Unless you use
automounts or otherwise rely on entries in /etc/fstab during operation,
all drives are mounted at boot---alt
based on a real SSD.
In the systems I had installed on my laptops so far, I use filesystem labels
to identify how to mount each of system partitions. While it is trivial to set
up on a single storage device, it is no longer obvious how to design a complex
storage solution with redundancy and

So it looks like the root uuid might be generated, but from what I read
vfat uuids are translated from a partition serial number that isn't
manipulated in the guix source so getting uuids beforehand might be
impossible.
Both the root and efi partitions get a label, so I might be able to use
I think I'd like to use disk-image but a number of things were unclear

Reading the -t parameter I assume it's an image with just 1 root
partition. If I need UEFI will an efi partition be created?
2. How can I re

You are free to add as many partitions as you want.
"Free space" is wasted space, make sure that your partition scheme covers the
whole drive.

o say you mount a partition. But the
verboseness of this argument suggests that it is better to say one
mounts filesystems rather than partitions.

Something is not so clear to me on this page:

The config file you posted does use partition labels, as in:
(file-system
(title 'label)
(device "root")
…)
Could it be that the partitions

2) I have set the labels on HDD partitions this way:

/dev/sdb3 (swap) - swap
