Parted 3.5 introduces the following regression:
- partition-set-flag sets the BIOS_GRUB flag. The partition type is set to
PARTITION_BIOS_GRUB_GUID.
- partition-set-system resets the partition type to PARTITION_LINUX_DATA_GUID
undoing what's done by partition-set-flag.
To prevent it, reverse the call order.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55549>.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (mkpart): Call partition-set-system before
partition-set-flag.
This is to make it less surprising, given the common convention sets forth by
the kernel Linux command-line parameters.
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (boot-system): Rename '--load', '--repl', '--root'
and '--system' to 'gnu.load', 'gnu.repl', 'root' and 'gnu.system',

The "fat" file-system mount type doesn't exist in Linux. Trying to mount a
FAT16 partition with "fat" file-system type returns -ENODEV.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/48419>.

Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47889>.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (esp-partition?): Remove the MSDOS check.
(auto-partition!): On MSDOS disks, check if an ESP partition is present. If
that's the case, do not remove it. Otherwise, if UEFI is supported, create
one.
Reported by Florian Pelz:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-11/msg00326.html.
* gnu/installer/utils.scm (call-with-time): New procedure,

* gnu/installer/parted.scm (with-delay-device-in-use?): Increase the retry
count to 16.
(non-install-devices): Remove the call to with-delay-device-in-use? as it
doesn't return the expected result, and would block much longer now.
(free-parted): Log the time required to sync each device.
Note: This change requires an updated 'guix' package that contains
Linux-swap support in (gnu build file-systems).
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (user-partitions->configuration): Use UUIDs

invoke 'swaplabel' in the marionette.
(installation-target-os-for-gui-tests): When ENCRYPTED? is false, except
a fixed UUID.
If a device contains an active logical volume, BLKRRPART will report that the
device is busy. This will cause this device to be filtered by
"non-install-devices" procedure, which is not desired.
Make sure to deactivate all logical volumes before device probing.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/42683>.
* gnu/installer.scm (installer-program): Add lvm2-static to the inputs.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (remove-logical-devices): New procedure,

it is true, to the result of 'create-adjacent-partitions!'.
