Hi!
I had a look at /var/guix/profiles and noticed that there were some forgotten
links
there. For instance, of some custom profiles I didn't use and all.
After removing those links (sudo rm ...), guix gc could free a lot of
space!
I also noticed that "guix pull" generations were accumulating, and that
might eat up some disk space as well. So I ran a
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix package -p ~/.config/guix/current -d1m
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
to free all guix checkouts older than a month.
I wonder if we should not document this more. Maybe have "guix" display
extensive information about the profiles in /var/guix/profiles?
When the guix store runs low on disk space, Guix currently suggests to
run "guix gc" and all. I think we should suggest the above command and
to check for other GC rotos in /var/guix/profiles.
Thoughts?
Finally, do I need /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root at all? Is it safe to
remove?
