compiling libarchive
Has anyone been able to compile libarchive and archivemount? I want to
use this with fuse.
The compile is very tough for libarchive, I keep getting
c -o tar/bsdtar-util.o `test -f 'tar/util.c' || echo './'`tar/util.c
mv -f tar/.deps/bsdtar-util.Tpo tar/.deps/bsdtar-util.Po

Extracting files from OVA is bad
Hi,
recently we (oVirt) have started discussing whether the way virt-v2v
handles import from OVA files is good. And I would be interested in
ideas how it can be improved. It is likely somebody already gave some
thought to this problem.
TL;DR: Extracting the OVA before import is a problem for large VMs (in
sizes of TBs). Can we change something to prevent the extraction and
work directly over

...that
package is also in RHEL.
We could even imagine a qemu block backend based on libarchive.

http://www.cybernoia.de/software/archivemount/ is one such tool which
can do this. It's not in RHEL, but it seems to be based on
libarchive.

rsyncing from a compressed tarball.
Mike,
As it stands right now, we use xz for our compression, so if rsync had
a similar option for xz that would probably be an improvement.
However, I think being able to decompress directly to the remote
system would save more; elsewise I don't see how I'm going to be able
to avoid untarring and uncompressing the whole xz file on the other
end.
thanks much,
ed
