Hi,

From 9d795fb, I get on machine A,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix time-machine --commit=a7b20226b2 -- build hello
[...]
Backtrace:
           1 (primitive-load "/home/simon/.cache/guix/inferiors/wulv?")

where it reads:

Last, on machine B, the time-machine just works.  Maybe it is related to
NVMe and something like [1].

Well, I still do not understand why the time-machine raises an error
when the store have the necessary item.  Any idea?
