While I'm trying to solve this[0] issues, rekado suggested to either use
a let or a define for the initial error I encountered.

This lead to the system config which can be seen here:
http://paste.lisp.org/display/340362#1 , still resulting in error:

user <at> greendragon ~$ guix system build /etc/config.scm                                                                              
guix system: error: service 'file-system-/mnt/dg2' requires
'file-system-/', which is not provided by any service

My guess is that mapped-devices does not consider cases where more than
one luks-device is present. I haven't tried the final use-case yet which
is bringing raid-mapped-devices in there, I expect this not to happen
before this issue is fixed, to have isolated and not multiple causes of
failure/errors.

Should the lisp.org paste disappear I can append my system config, for
now the paste is enough.

From info "(guix)File Systems":

     When the source of a file system is a mapped device (*note
     Mapped Devices::), its ‘device’ field _must_ refer to the
     mapped device name—e.g., ‘"/dev/mapper/root-partition"’.  This
     is required so that the system knows that mounting the file
     system depends on having the corresponding device mapping
     established.

So it seems that you must provide "/dev/mapper/my-root" instead of
referring to it by label.  Although, I was able to reconfigure with the
following mapped devices/file systems:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    (mapped-devices
     (list (mapped-device
            (source (uuid "0792432c-78d8-4dcc-87c5-30200c3d02db");"/dev/sda2"
                    )
            (target "cryptroot")
            (type luks-device-mapping))
           (mapped-device
            (source (uuid "a9aead40-9d01-4f7a-bb83-be70dd192b7b");"/dev/sdb2"
                    )
            (target "cryptroot-mirror")
            (type luks-device-mapping))
           (mapped-device
            (source (uuid "f0afd5c9-da70-46a7-9c6f-5d22913638bf");"/dev/sdc2"
                    )
            (target "cryptroot-mirror2")
            (type luks-device-mapping))))

    ;; Note: Using any of the LUKS encrypted drives exposed under
    ;; /dev/mapper is enough to reference the Btrfs RAID-1 array,
    ;; since the 'btrfs device scan' command is executed in the init
    ;; RAM disk and takes care of assembling the array.
    (file-systems (cons* (file-system
                           (mount-point "/")
                           (device (file-system-label "my-root"))
                           (type "btrfs")
			   (options (alist->file-system-options
                                     (cons '("subvol" . "@root")
                                           %common-btrfs-options)))
			   (dependencies mapped-devices))
                         (file-system
                           (device "/dev/mapper/cryptroot-mirror")
                           (mount-point "/home")
                           (type "btrfs")
                           (options (alist->file-system-options
                                     (cons '("subvol" . "@home")
                                           %common-btrfs-options)))
                           (dependencies mapped-devices))
                         (file-system
                           (device "/dev/mapper/cryptroot-mirror2")
                           (mount-point "/data")
                           (type "btrfs")
                           (options (alist->file-system-options
                                     (cons '("subvol" . "@data")
                                           %common-btrfs-options)))
                           (dependencies mapped-devices))
                         %base-file-systems))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
                         
So perhaps that particular limitation has been lifted, or perhaps Btrfs
is different in this regard.

I'll close the bug, but feel free to reopen it if you still have
problems.

Thank you,

Maxim
