The nix-gc service in hut can start before /home is mounted, causing it to remove all gcroots as it is unable to find the symlink on disk:

We should enforce the nix-gc service has access to /home/Computational before it can start.

The nix-gc service in hut can start before /home is mounted, causing it to remove *all* gcroots as it is unable to find the symlink on disk: ``` Aug 06 17:51:24 hut nix-gc-start[1938]: finding garbage collector roots...
