Overlayfs is part of the kernel, while unionfs needs FUSE. This also reduces
the size of the initrd by ca. 4.3% (487K).
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (mount-root-file-system): Remove optional parameter
"unionfs"; mount using overlayfs instead of unionfs; new directory layout
requied by overlayfs; update documentation.
[mark-as-not-killable]: Remove now unused function
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (file-system-packages): Remove now unused
packages "unionfs-fuse/static" and thus unused related 'if'.
(linux-modules): Replace "fuse" by "overlay".

* gnu/system/file-systems.scm (file-system->spec): When DEVICE is a
UUID, serialize it in a way that preserves its type.
(spec->file-system): Adjust accordingly.
* gnu/build/file-systems.scm (canonicalize-device-spec): Add case for
when SPEC is 'uuid?'.
* gnu/build/file-systems.scm (mount-file-system): Rename 'spec' to 'fs'
and assume it's a <file-system>.
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (boot-system): Assume MOUNTS is a list of
<file-system> and adjust accordingly.
* gnu/build/linux-container.scm (mount-file-systems): Remove
'file-system->spec' call.
* gnu/services/base.scm (file-system-shepherd-service): Add
'spec->file-system' call. Add (gnu system file-systems) to 'modules'.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (raw-initrd): Use (gnu system
file-systems). Add 'spec->file-system' call for #:mounts.
* gnu/system/uuid.scm (uuid=?): New procedure.
* tests/uuid.scm ("uuid=?"): New test.
* gnu/build/file-systems.scm (partition-uuid-predicate)
(luks-partition-uuid-predicate): Use it instead of 'bytevector=?'.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (<partition>)[uuid]: New field.
(create-ext-file-system): Add #:uuid and honor it.
(create-fat-file-system): Add #:uuid.
(format-partition): Add #:uuid and honor it.

honor it.
* gnu/tests/base.scm (run-basic-test)["login on tty1"]: Use
'wait-for-file' instead of inline code.
This is used in the installation process, as the mountpoint for the target
filesystem.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (make-iso9660-image): Create /mnt within the generated ISO
image.
This mimics the functionality in the root-partition-initializer used in
creating the QEMU image. This helps when trying to run guix system init from
the generated ISO image.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (make-iso9660-image): Add support for registering closures.
Previously we'd use "sendkey P" instead of "sendkey shift-p", which had
no effect.
* gnu/build/marionette.scm (character->keystroke): New procedure.
(string->keystroke-commands): Use it.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Add
#:single-file-output? and pass it to 'load-in-linux-vm'.
(iso9660-image): Pass #:single-file-output? to
'expression->derivation-in-linux-vm'.

honor it.

label.

and adds the following changes:
* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (svg->png): Add 'package->derivation' call for
GUILE-2.2. Pass #:guile-for-build to 'gexp->derivation'.
* gnu/build/svg.scm (svg->png): Add 'em' and 'ex' to the 'let-values'
form to account for all the values returned by
'rsvg-handle-get-dimensions', which Guile 2.2 does not truncate.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (estimated-partition-size): New procedure.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm):
Change #:disk-image-size default to 'guess.
[builder]: When DISK-IMAGE-SIZE is 'guess, use
'estimated-partition-size' and compute and estimate of the image size.
(qemu-image): Likewise.
* guix/build/store-copy.scm (file-size, closure-size): New procedures.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (%default-options): Change 'image-size' to
'guess.

flag from example.
(Invoking guix system): Document the image size estimate.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (load-in-linux-vm): Add 'format' call when
MAKE-DISK-IMAGE? is true.
(initialize-partition-table): Show the size of the partitions being
created.
* gnu/build/marionette.scm (wait-for-file): New procedure.

Pass second argument in 'wait-for-file' calls.
* gnu/tests/messaging.scm (run-xmpp-test)[test](guest-wait-for-file):
Remove.
Use 'wait-for-file' instead, with second argument.
Trying to boot GuixSD when an audio CD is in the drive will die with an
"input/output error" when trying to read the superblock from the cd
drive.
This patch catches and warns in this case rather than dying.
* gnu/build/file-systems.scm (ENOENT-safe): Handle EIO.

call.
* gnu/tests/base.scm (run-basic-test)["permissions on /root"]: New test.
Fixes a bug whereby GuixSD would create the /nonexistent directory, from
user 'nobody', even though it has 'create-home-directory?' set to #f.
* gnu/build/activation.scm (activate-users+groups): Add comment for
\#:create-home?.
(activate-user-home)[ensure-user-home]: Skip when CREATE-HOME? is #f or
