1. $ guix repl 2. Import the module with ,use (gnu build file-systems) 3. Call (mount-file-system <args_from_method_signature>) in the REPL Most likely you'd need to run guix repl as root to actually mount the file system, so make sure the root user's Guix is up to date. This method /just/ mounts the file-system, no shepherd services are involved. If it mounts via mount-file-system, then there's a problem with the service. Also, in my experience shepherd sometimes gets upset (aka deadlocks) if you try shutting down your system while you have an manually mounted file system attached, so I advise making sure to unmount it after you finish testing. > Yes, I am.

Ah, V3 of the patch [1] changed it from requirements to shepherd-requirements. (In part for consistency with other services, in part to make it distinct from dependencies, and in part to dodge that whole pluralization debate.) The code you linked still uses requirements, so that could explain the problem. I'm surprised (and mildly concerned) that there wasn't obvious breakage when building the system. You should get an error like: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception: Syntax error: unknown file:383:20: file-system: extraneous field initializers (requirements) in form (file-system (mount-point "/") (device "dummy") (requirements (quote (fake))) (type "dummy")) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- That's from me trying to create a file-system record with the requirements field instead of shepherd-requirements.
