Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. You were right: the root
cause here is that the ‘file-systems’ field does not specify a root file
system.
Could you add one and let me know how it goes?
I’ve done two things to improve the situation:
1. Commit a168c3e4f8d580f70e1c26bcdfc5b8378b2fa42d fixes a
longstanding issues where we’d get useless backtraces like the one
above in such circumstances.
2. Commit d7e9e0bbc9aadec3e1830767a8771bfbe9c43155 changes ‘guix
system’ so that a “missing root file system” error message is
printed in this case.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
