Any chance of this getting reviewed and merge within the next five years?
Thanks

how I want it (i.e. without
RAID5 write holes and memory buffer corruption bugs like in BTRFS "RAID5" mode)
and not having ZFS on Guix is not helping that essential freedom.

anyway as a fallback in case the SJTU mirror is not available or something.
So maybe the patch is OK as-is?

As an aside, I notice there is now a new "bayfront.guix.gnu.org" server.
Not sure if I should modify this patch or not to add it or whatever.

In any case I checked it manually by creating an installer image and then
installing into 2 different VMs, one with ci.guix.gnu.org and the other with
mirror.sjtu.edu.cn.

s" aren't even available yet anyway, why add the
complication now?
Maybe you can encourage more people to actually run mirrors if the installer
has a visible "select mirrors" page, so that you can actually get more than
just the SJTU mirror and "select multiple mirrors" is now a (good) problem to
have to solve.
For now I think a simple "select one mirror, we'll add ci.guix.gnu.org as a
fallback" would be better.
You can add a "select multiple mirrors in an order I want to specify" later,
when there *are* multiple mirrors existing.

would be nice if there were some kind of `guix system build-bootloader` that

I haven't tested for the use of the normal Berlin Cuirass, as that would be

look for the `operating-system` form, then delve in its `services` field for a
`substitute-urls` field. This feels fairly brittle but does take advantage of
the homoiconicity of Scheme.

together fits the functional design of Guix better. So I would strongly
propose my original design rather than hacks on top of
`file-system-service-type`.

monadic action. `mbegin` is one of the
simpler monadic actions. It is also in the "correct place" as best as I can
tell, since only service types in `gnu/services.scm` dare to extend
`system-service-type`.
`provenance-service-type` does this as well because it *also* extends
`system-service-type`. This is basically done here simply because that is what
`system-service-type` expects.
Thanks

after `file-system-shepherd-service` procedure in
`gnu/services/base.scm`, which includes a `(chdir "/")` as well with the
comment "Make sure PID 1 doesn't keep TARGET busy.". Since this also does
filesystem mounting/unmounting, I judged it best to imitate the existing
filesystem mounting/unmounting service.
Thanks

Hi guix-developers and users,
Here are some notes I made about how to get `/` on ZFS, maybe someone else can
think about it.
---
Most importantly, it seems for this style we need to consider first `/boot`
***not*** on ZFS, and have `/` on ZFS. I presume grub has some way to read
ZFS pools

No monitoring. You can probably try launching it in its own Shepherd service,
but you need to figure out how to populate `/etc/zfs/zed/` yourself. If you
do, you probably will not be doing it from the `configuration.scm` file meaning
it'll be hard to replicate the setup elsewhere.
Thanks

odule-service-type` service, the function
`operating-system-directory-base-entries` is used do create the default for

the `operating-system`
is put in a `define` form as well, but those are rare and the default stuff
that come with Guix tend not to use this, and we should consider that new Guix
sysads might not be comfortable working with EMACS and prefer nano, so adding
even just *one* additional layer of nestedness to a long `operating-system`
form is not easy. Of course, such a sysad might then consider not indenting it
correctly.
Thanks

fore your
form).
Now, if this kind of simplifying form is useful for ZFS, I imagine that this
kind of simplifying form would also exist for other things you could install
into your operating system in the future. Thus, we need some way to take an
existing `` and pass it through a number of single
simplifying operating system transformations, which I don't think something
like `modify-os` would work well with.

Obviously, it's called "decorate" since it's partly inspired by Python
decorators, which use a similar-looking pattern, with different syntax.
What are your opinions? Blech? Yummy? Is it worth exploring this paradigm
for adding particularly complex features to an operating system definition?
