Hello,

Running the test suite (`make check`) gives me one of the tests failed.

This is from test-suite.log

test-name: pivot-root

source:
+ (test-equal

The summary is:

# SKIP:  4
# XFAIL: 0
# FAIL:  1
# XPASS: 0
# ERROR: 0

I'm novice in Guix, can anyone give me a clue?

Can you please write the type of system you are building guix on?

We recently discovered that on systemd based systems pivot-root

might fail because of shared mountpoints.

 

Thanks,
Maria.
