<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hej fellow guixers,</p> <p>TLDR: <code>guix gc</code> claims to be unable to repair some corrupt/nonworking store items. Result of many crashes (that problem is solved). What can I do to resolve the issue?</p> <p>I believe to have finally resolved an issue where my pc would crash very frequently (basically, automatic, BIOS-enabled overclocking).</p> <p>However, this has resulted in - you can guess it - a great many crashes, or rather, hard resets. Obviously, the system doesn't like being treated like that. I am on a rather performant machine with a samsung ssd, guix system and btrfs. Because I was afraid that those crashes might irrevocably damage my machine, I got into the habit of regularly running btrfs- and guix-specific commands for storage device maintenance after a hard reset (<code>btrfs check</code>, <code>btrfs scrub</code>, <code>btrfs balance</code>; <code>guix gc --verify=contents,repair</code>).</p> <p>Now, as of late, there is an increasing number of items in the store that <code>guix gc</code> claims unable to repair. Is this a problem? Should I be worried about this? What can I do about this? Will a "normal" <code>guix gc</code> (without arguments, that is) collect all of these?</p> <p>To be able to resolve that issue is important to me, because I believe that those corrupt items actually clog my cpu performance. Yesterday, I timed a <code>guix upgrade</code>, just to see how long the creation of a profile with ~10 packages takes: about 5 minutes! For comparison, I just created a new profile with 10 packages of different origin (music production stuff), which took about 1 minute to complete.</p> <p>Have a good day, fellow good humans :)</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/olivuser"> /u/olivuser </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/GUIX/comments/qdb04j/what_to_do_about_unrepairable_store_items_guix_gc/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/GUIX/comments/qdb04j/what_to_do_about_unrepairable_store_items_guix_gc/">[comments]</a></span> |
