Hi!

After this trouble with guix gc I did a sudo reboot, and it got worse. At startup I now see these errors:

GC Warning: pthread_getattr_up or pthread_attr_getstack failed for main thread
GC Warning: Couldn't read /proc/stat

Now this is the very end. Even selecting an older system generation is obviously not an option any more. 

I’m happy that all this is on my NFS share to which I have access via my server.


Bye
