I think you hit the /dev/shm issue described in a footnote (info "(guix)
Setting Up the Daemon").

(Of course, re-open this bug if this is not the case.)

I’m not sure how to better avoid that situation.  Perhaps ‘guix-daemon’
could explicitly check whether /dev/shm is a symlink and emit a warning
if it is?

OTOH this won’t be a problem on the GNU distro where everything will be
correctly setup.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
