Usually /var/log and similar directories are created not by shepherd but
by Guix System, the distro being used, or whatever.  That’s why I wonder
if it’s shepherd’s job to do that.

I was asking how you encountered it to better understand in which
circumstances the problem can occur in practice and what the failure
more is like.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
