That's odd. I have definitely run `guix pull` several times on this machine.

The store is mounted on a RAID-6 array with an ext4 filesystem. Maybe
the striping is confusing things? Here's the mount point:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  $ mount |grep gnu
  /dev/mapper/vg1-volume_2 on /gnu type ext4 
(rw,relatime,synoacl,stripe=32,data=writeback,jqfmt=vfsv0,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group)
#+END_EXAMPLE

Hm, does this also look at timestamps? Why didn't this give me any
output or fix the issue?
