Hi, While trying to ./configure libguestfs on gentoo fails since it requires feboostrap or deboostrap Can this be made optional and not as necessary requirement, since there are still many useful uses for libguestfs besides bootstrapping, which can be used on distros like gentoo. Thanks Alex

These small fixes are required to fix the build and tests on Debian (using the debootstrap/debirf appliance). There is currently another bug in the Debian tests which I'm looking into. hexdump always fails as follows: libguestfs: error: hexdump: hexdump: /test123: hexdump: /sysroot/test123: Bad file descriptor Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat....

Hi, just a short heads up about the current status of libguestfs on Debian: Current git master builds and works fine on Debian sid. The only change you have to make is to use a custom kernel instead of the one in squeeze/sid by pointing DEBIRF_KERNEL_PACKAGE in appliance/debian/debirf.conf to something recent enough (>= 2.6.35) like: DEBIRF_KERNEL_PACKAGE=/foo/linux-image-2.6.36-rc7+_2.6.36-rc7+-20_i386.deb Otherwise libguesfsd quits early since the virtio-serial device won't be created in the guest. Cheers, -- Guido

...k to... but in the appliance's lib/, 64-bit libraries are found in lib64! To work around this for good, explicitly set LD_LIBRARY_PATH appropriately for the bitness of the current environment (and, technically, for the distro of the appliance we're building, but that just means a change to debirf is needed as well: this fix only handles Fedora- appliance-on-Debian/Ubuntu-system, not vice versa). (Note: it is quite possible that this is better implemented inside febootstrap: but it works here.) --- appliance/make.sh.in | 63 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------- 1 files chang...

However with the patch I just posted: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-May/msg00132.html we don't need to remove packages just because they are missing. But there is still one package which is present but doesn't install under debirf, 'fuse-utils', which is a dep of ntfs-3g and zfs-fuse. Therefore this patch removes these two packages from the list.

As part of the oVirt Node[1] project, I'm going to P.O.C. a version of the node using febootstrap 2.x instead of livecd-creator. The main reasons in doing this is for allowing a r/w root filesystem without some hacky overlayfs and just to see if it can be done. On IRC, rwmjones mentioned a few issues he ran into with febootstrap 2.x where some rpms had %post scripts which aren't really

This is a repost of a previously posted set. It's been updated following review comments. [PATCH 1/4] Add a core_pattern debug command Added missing return statements. [PATCH 2/4] Call sync after guestfsd exits Remove redundant sleep 1; sync [PATCH 3/4] Shut down the appliance cleanly [PATCH 4/4] Ignore launch() error in virt-rescue These were previously 2 patches. They are otherwise

[PATCH 1/3] Add a core_pattern debug command The first patch is just a rework of Rich's earlier core dump patch. It turns it into a debug subcommand so it can be called at any time. This also has the advantage of explicitly labelling an extremely untidy API as debug. [PATCH 2/3] Call sync after guestfsd exits The second patch seems to be required for cores to be dumped reliably. I was able to
