Hello,

When the store overlay is mounted, other processes such as kmscon, udev
and guix-daemon may open files from the store, preventing the
underlying install support from being umounted. See:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-12/msg00161.html.

To avoid this situation, mount the store overlay inside a container,
and run the installation from within that container.

Thanks,

Mathieu
