[Libguestfs] IRC question: Does libguestfs support windows
04:53 < archers> hi all 04:53 < archers> libguestfs donot support windows any more ? Unfortunately the user didn't stay in the channel for longer than 5 mins so I wasn't able to get any more details or reply. However in general the answer is: yes, libguestfs supports Windows. Libguestfs supports Windows guests. On RHEL, you will need to support the libguestfs-winsupport package. This package is now included in base RHEL starting with RHEL 7.2 IIRC. Previously it was in a separate channel called V2VWIN. libguestfs-winsupport in RHEL has some intentional limitations described here: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.html#cannot-open-windows-guests-which-use-ntfs http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.html#mount:-unsupported-filesystem-type-with-ntfs-in-rhel-7.2 Libguestfs probably cannot be compiled on Windows, although certainly the library side could be compiled with not too much effort.
