Yes, this is a known limitation: <http://bugs.gnu.org/22039>. Currently, for services that are safe to be restarted, the solution is to explicitly stop them beforehand, in which case the new service gets started by ‘guix system reconfigure’: # herd stop postgresql # guix system reconfigure new-config.scm I’m closing this bug. Let me know if anything else is amiss. Thanks, Ludo’.
