What file system is on /dev/sdb1?

The code responsible for that is in (gnu build file-systems).  It
currently recognizes only some file system types: ISO9660, ext2/3/4,
Btrfs, FAT32, FAT16, and JFS.

Can you try:

  sudo guix repl
  ,use(gnu build file-systems)
  (find-partition-by-uuid (uuid "643a215d-a30e-473b-826e-5c35de29e38f"))

?

Yes, because /dev/disk is not accessible early on.  That’s why the
manual recommends using ‘uuid’ or ‘file-system-label’.

Yes, that reminds me someone reported a serious Bournish bug on IRC.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
