This mitigates a race condition described in #576. The 'Type=exec' option ensures that systemd only starts follow-up units after the guix-daemon binary has started. By then, the mount points are collected in a private namespace and will not be affected. Without this option, 'gnu-store.mount' could win the race and remount everything read-only before guix-daemon has acquired a read-write view. Fixes #2270 * etc/guix-daemon.service.in: Mitigate mount race condition Change-Id: I5d28ebc38b0c10e6d2aa8e65353757ef13d5bad3 Signed-off-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
