Hi Petr!

The function make-grub-efi-netboot-installer in gnu/bootloader/grub.scm first 
uses copy-recursively to copy the collection of bootloader files to 
/mnt/boot/efi and creates afterwards the symlinks to /gnu/store and 
/boot/grub/grub.cfg or – as in your case – creates a 
/mnt/boot/efi/efi/boot/grub.cfg to point GRUB to the root partition to access 
/boot/grub/grub.cfg and /gnu/store.

Yesterday your guix system init struggled to create these symlinks. That means 
it was already done with the copy-recursively call.

I’m pretty sure that this copy-recursively is using readdir internally. The 
functionallity afterwards is surely not.

Yesterday you also got the message ‘populating '/mnt'…’ before the symlink 
struggle. Therefore I assume that your current error has nothing to do with the 
bootloader installation. 

Maybe there are leftovers from yesterday in /mnt, which prevent guix to copy 
files sucessfully onto /dev/mmcblk0p2?

Reformatting the ext4 filesystem might help.


Bye

Stefan
