Yes; that's been my fix for now. Running the garbage collector purged 17
GB worth of data from the store.

That one is very interesting. The filesystem is nearly full but still it
is only using a tenth of its available inodes. Unless this hard drive is
filled in big part by large single file blobs such as a backups or
similar, it defeats the theory that the currently used EXT4 filesystem
parameters are not optimal for the needs of Guix.

Thanks for this useful info!
