Thank you very much for your extensive explanation. I understand things
better now.

Hi Damien,
Currently Guix does not include tools to support your use case of
"writable and shared /gnu/store in the VM".
`guix system container` might be useful but the isolation guarantees are
weaker than with QEMU. However, QEMU is not bulletproof either.
The recommended way to get a writeable
Hi,
I kept experimenting. I can't manage to install anything in the VM:
$ guix pull
Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at 'file:///home/cassou/...'
guix pull: error: Git error: failed to mmap. Could not write data:
Invalid argument
The folder at 'file:///home/cassou/...' contains a git
Would have to share the connection with the Guix daemon. The VM would
see the changes but it could write to the store directly. But that's
effectively what you want. When you use guix as a user, the guix
command doesn't write to the store, it tells the daemon to do things.
Same deal here.

Hi,
`guix system vm` generates a VM which shares /gnu/store with the
host. However, the share is done read-only. The info pages recommends
copying the VM image and making it writable.
Is it possible/recommended to get a writable and shared /gnu/store in
the VM?
Best,
