What does “uname -srvm” return on this machine?

Guix internally relies on the sendfile(2) system call to efficiently
communicate with the build daemon.  Here, it could be that the storage
device where those files are is dysfunctional, or that the file system
is corrupt, or that something is wrong with the kernel.

Does “dmesg | tail” show any useful hint when invoked right after the
error?

Thanks,
