When reconfiguring the system with Guix, shepherd services that have
auto-start? set to #f are started during reconfiguration. Per
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/22039#26, services shouldn't be started by
reconfigure if auto-start is #f. These services are not started on boot,
which matches expected behavior.
This is different from bug#42167, as this problem occurs even if the
service already exists and is stopped.
I created an test OS configuration to help others reproduce it, see
attached. This was run on guix 931d893c550128591018587c90d2491fd66a11a4.
I used openssh-service with %auto-start set to #f as well as
ganeti-metad-service since both of these services are already supplied
with Guix and are/can be set to auto-start?=#f. I haven't actually
configured ganeti-metad-service so the service won't start successfully,
but we can still see Guix attempt to start the service when it
shouldn't.
Below are snippets of the console output. I've attached the full
versions to this email. I also attached result of building
upgrade-shepherd-services.scm.drv.
On a clean boot, post test.scm reconfiguration:
