Subject: (mount-points) returns bogus values within the build environment
Date: Sun, 05 Apr 2015 02:12:08 -0400

Within the guix-daemon build environment, tests/syscalls.scm
consistently fails on my i686 Libreboot X60 running linux-libre-3.19.3.
Outside of the build environment the test passes.

Here's the relevant except from syscalls.log:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Test begin:
  test-name: "mount-points"
  source-file: "tests/syscalls.scm"
  source-line: 47
  source-form: (test-assert "mount-points" (member "/" (mount-points)))
Test end:
  result-kind: fail
  actual-value: #f
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I built a simple derivation to print the result of (mount-points) within
the build environment:

As you can see, "/" is listed as a mount point outside of the build
environment, but not inside.

The test above was done when running linux-libre-3.19.3.  I rebooted
into an older system with linux-libre-3.18.10 and performed the same
test, and this time "/" is listed among the mount points (twice even):

So, clearly there has been a change (regression?) in linux-libre-3.19
that is causing this test to fail.

For now, might I suggest checking for the existence of "/proc" instead?
