[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Installed package content got corrupted in some situations like
with /gnu/ on lvm disk when disk full which later resized online with
lvresize

$ df /gnu
Filesystem                        Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VGguix-gnu  116G  115G  0G  100% /gnu

which later fixed by below command online, while guix upgrade/install is
going
$ LVPART=/dev/mapper/VGguix-gnu
$ sudo fsck -n $LVPART
$ sudo lvresize -L +10G $LVPART
$ sudo resize2fs $LVPART
$ sudo fsck -n $LVPART




For example
/gnu/store/lysmrhh9i44aawwx406829lw581jizq6-qtbase-5.15.15/lib/libQt5Concurrent.so.5.15.15
file content become zero as during installation space become full due to
less disk space space.
and
sudo guix gc  --verify=repair,contents
also not fixed these issues
and when I has reinstalled whole guixsd os again things started working


Similar case now happened for
/gnu/store/i7z4r54cic4g5s15b1q9k1w5a6kvwadw-gvfs-1.56.1/lib/gvfs/libgvfscommon.so
$ md5sum
/gnu/store/i7z4r54cic4g5s15b1q9k1w5a6kvwadw-gvfs-1.56.1/lib/gvfs/libgvfscommon.so
9543d63a0c2bf7396bd138e0ceb090fa
 /gnu/store/i7z4r54cic4g5s15b1q9k1w5a6kvwadw-gvfs-1.56.1/lib/gvfs/libgvfscommon.so


And here is not way to reinstall it as many other packages are depending on
it
$ guix gc -D  /gnu/store/i7z4r54cic4g5s15b1q9k1w5a6kvwadw-gvfs-1.56.1

finding garbage collector roots...
guix gc: error: cannot delete path
`/gnu/store/i7z4r54cic4g5s15b1q9k1w5a6kvwadw-gvfs-1.56.1' since it is still
alive

This force me to reinstall whole GuixSD

So the grantee that package content will be same is broken in case of disk
full error ( followed by  recover by increasing space online.)

* Either this should not happen at first place, if content error happen
then abort install operation
 (means after install ensure if install is really as expected.)
* Or here were some kind of repair-ability to get out of this problem as
   $ sudo guix gc  --verify=repair,contents
 also not help here

May be these two both


* Either this should not happen at first place, if content error happen
then abort install operation
 (means after install ensure if install is really as expected.)
* Or here were some kind of repair-ability to get out of this problem as
   $ sudo guix gc  --verify=repair,contents
 also not help here


solution required
As it may be possible before installation directory were synced to disk
it may have correct content and after it were tried to be synced to disk it
got corrupted

So after install solution of repair-ability also require
