similar to: [PATCH 1/3] launch: move the filename checking to a wrapper

Note: This is a regression in RHEL 6.3. Please review this patch urgently. The description of the bug is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812092 This patch set attempts to fix the problem conservatively, because it's a very high risk codepath and very late in the development of RHEL 6.3. The first patch reverts the behaviour of calling realpath(3) and checking for

These assorted patches end up with adding virtio-scsi support to libguestfs. It passes libguestfs-test-tool, but I haven't yet tried to run the full set of tests. In theory > 26 devices can be added, but it's likely that certain parts of the daemon will break if you actually try this. This of course needs to be fixed. Thanks Paolo Bonzini for invaluable help. Rich.

More comprehensive support for virtio-scsi. Passes all the tests. Rich.

A patch for a few more hiccups and trivialities in kinit.c: * The check_path() calls check for "/root" and "/old_root" - I believe that should be "/root" and "/root/old_root". * chdir("/") is recommended after pivot_root() * init_argv[0] isn't set properly to the basename pointed to by char *s - this fix also eliminates six lines of

Note this patch requires a non-upstream qemu patch that I've been experimenting with. See qemu-devel list. Rich.

Hi Rich, We just found that the libguestfs can't access the remote URI. When doing guestfs__add_drive_opts(), we always add files from local system, it's related the -c|--connect option. As I know, we are using local kernel to lunch the min-guest, and it's hard to attach remote disks to our local min-guest. Our test team found this problem by using following command, # virt-sysprep

This series improves ceph rbd support in libguestfs. It uses the servers list, adds support for a custom username, and starts to add support for custom secret.

As discussed in the thread on validating $TERM, it would be good to have a common function to do this. This is such a function. The main advantage is it includes unit tests which the previous functions did not. Rich.

This is, I guess, version 3 of this patch series which adds disk labels and hotplugging (only hot-add implemented so far). The good news is .. it works! Rich.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=912499 (especially comments 7 & 10) This patch set is the final fix so that we can access disks in use by other guests when SELinux and sVirt are enabled. Previously such disks were inaccessible because sVirt labels the disks with a random SELinux label to prevent other instances of qemu from being able to read them. So naturally the libguestfs

This started as a simple warning-elimination change. I'll get back to that series shortly ;-) It turned into a factorization and constification exercise during which I got a taste of ocaml. Thanks to Rich Jones for help with a few snippets in generator.ml. The overall result is that many previously-manually-maintained bits from daemon/*.c functions are now hoisted into the automatically-

This is a series of simplifications to the stubs code. It's all refactoring, there is no functional change. Rich.

These patches contain the beginnings of discard (a.k.a. trim or unmap) support. This will allow us to change virt-sparsify to work on disk images in-place (instead of using slow & inefficient copying). The approach used is to add an optional 'discard' parameter to add-drive. It has 3 possible settings: - 'disable' : the default, no discard is done - 'besteffort' :

From: "Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones at redhat.com> You can now add remote NBD drives using: ><fs> add-drive "" format:raw protocol:nbd server:localhost (Note that you also need to add port:NNNN if the server is running on a non-standard port). The corresponding qemu-nbd service can be started by doing: qemu-nbd disk.img -t This commit also adds a test. ---

This rounds off hotplugging support by allowing you to add and remove drives at any stage (before and after launch). Rich.
