Hi,
Sorry for the delay; this isn’t as simple as it looks!
I agree with 宋文武 regarding ‘file-system-service-type’.

Hi guix-devel,
I had some questions on the big ZFS guix bugpatches a week ago, and did not
find any response, so I am back here pestering everyone.
Anyway:

I was wary of making the `zfs-scan` one-shot, since there is a dependent
service on top of it. Not to mention restarting `zfs-scan` could be useful if

I can't help you with ZFS, but I think I've found some small issues
with the configuration file:

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

I just wanted to say that I'm not ignoring your patch, I'm just not qualified
to review it. I hope someone steps up to it--otherwise I can't really tell
whether (mbegin %state-monad...) inside a random service procedure is a good

Then again, provenance-service-type does it and there it seem

`linux-libre-lts` since those could be updated to past what the ZFS on Guix
supports, be explicit with what kernel version you have. Just remember to
update to a later LTS version if ZFS on Guix ever gets updated to a later
version.
Then, you need to create a ZFS package, by adding

Okay, a `guix system r
Hi guix-developers,
I just found out that ZFS on Linux maintains a file `/etc/zfs/zpool.cache`
which contains information on ZPOOLs (i.e. ZFS-managed RAID arrays). I just
didn't encounter this file before on Guix because the file is created if and
only if the directory `/etc/zfs/` exists, and

Hi guix-developers,
Another issue here is that ZFS prefers to not be managed via
`/etc/fstab`/`mount`/`umount`. Instead, at startup ZFS magically imports ZFS
pools and mounts ZFS datasets in the correct place, as configured in the
`mountpoint` properties of the dataset. This magic is actually
Thank you Carlo!
I've now tested the new tests I added in `gnu/tests/linux-modules.scm`, and the
existing tests as well, and they all pass.
Hope to get some review on that patch!
Thanks

Apologies for the short reply, but that permission issue can be solved in the
short term by changing the permissions on /dev/kvm (I set it to 777 to force it
when necessary, because I don't know what the right permissions are).
The proper solution is probably to add your user to a kvm group on y
Hi Carlo,
Thanks, I modified patch as below.
I also can't get `guix system vm` to run in my hacking env, so I couldn't make
a VM for testing like you did. I got this:

Here's a sketch of an attempt to add that feature so we can conveniently add
ZFS on Guix by just adding a `(service zfs-service-type...)`.
First, we need a new `kernel-loadable-module-service-type` in
`gnu/services.scm`:

I have a preliminary patch here: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/45592
However I will make a patchset based on this in order to support /home on ZFS
and managing ZFS the "legacy" way by (file-system ...) declaration, please wait.

Hi,
the reason is that our "zfs" package uses

and then does

Attempting to do a simple `guix install zfs` does not work, as I reported in
