For home, I tried my own config, and since I was pretty sure any system
container is affected (tried a simple one, my one and I know one other
person reported this in Matrix channel), I didn't try anything simpler
and just assumed all homes are going to be affected as well.
Now trying simpler config you mentioned, that one works fine.

The command was `guix home container -L ./home/modules ./home/home-container.scm`
in my repository. It's here https://git.ditigal.xyz/~ruther/guix-config.
Any idea what service could cause this behavior with lock-mounts? Would
be good to isolate it, but I am not sure where to start.

Here is the unshare error I was talking about earlier:
> guix home: error: unshare: 268566528: Invalid argument
Now I am getting it consistently, before it was missing sometimes.
Currently on
