> Hello Guix,
>
> I ran into this issue while doing a fresh install of Guix 0.8.2.  I had 
> a typo in my declaration of the grub device (I had unintentionally left 
> out the leading "/" on "/dev/sda"), so 'guix system init' failed when 
> setting up grub.  I fixed the typo in the OS config and reran 'guix 
> system init' but was greeted by an error about existing store 
> directories.
>
> I ended up needing to remove the /mnt/var, /mnt/grub, and /mnt/gnu/store 
> before being able to successfully rerun 'guix system init'.

> It would be useful for newcomers if recovering from mistakes were more
