Giovanni [1] actually I install guix via https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/plain/etc/guix-install.sh (that exits when it find an already created /gnu folder) *then* copy /gnu content to a LV temporary mounted as /gnu-LV, then "mv /gnu /gnu-ORIG" and finally mount the LV as /gnu... this does the trick -- Giovanni Biscuolo Xelera IT Infrastructures
