[Libguestfs] IRC question: is there a list of supported guest OSes and filesystems
00:48 < agn> Hello libguestFS developers 00:48 < agn> a question: is there a list of supported guest OSes and filesystems for 'libguestfs' ? 00:49 < agn> I'm trying to use it on some non-linux guests (under KVM with qcow2 images), and it doesn't seem to work. 00:49 < agn> Just wanted to make sure I'm not spending time on something that's officially not supported [ As the topic says .. stay in the channel! ] Libguestfs supports every filesystem that Linux supports (assuming it is enabled either compiled in or as a module in your host kernel). The only significant filesystem I'm aware of which is not supported is Windows ReFS, only because no one has reverse engineered and implemented a Linux driver for it yet. Inspection supports a subset of all operating systems. We aim to support all of them. If you find an OS / filesystem which doesn't work, please file a bug.
