Hi all,
Most Guix commands I run print out some ZFS test messages. E.g.
$ guix search aaaaaaa
*** Entering test group: zfs-system ***
* PASS: root file system is a safety-check proxy for the ZFS dataset
* PASS: ZFS root proxy is a vanilla Guix pseudo file system
* PASS: ZFS root proxy is excluded from the availability probe
* PASS: ZFS root proxy is excluded from the deploy module probe
* PASS: only the root file system is proxied
* PASS: kernel is marked as ZFS-enabled
* PASS: initrd modules include ZFS
* PASS: ZFS service is added
* PASS: GRUB installer is wrapped
* PASS: GRUB targets are preserved
*** Leaving test group: zfs-system ***
*** Test suite finished. ***
*** # of expected passes : 10
But not with "guix describe":

I don't use ZFS. It happens on at least two of my machines. One with a
libre kernel, and one with a non-libre one.
The messages only appear for the system guix, not for a local guix build.
And this is fine too:
$ guix shell guix -- guix search aaaaaaaa
I have no clue where these messages come from, anyone an idea?
Thanks,
Hugo
