CentOS 6 has libguestfs-devel 1.20.11, which predates the support in guestfs_add_drive_opts() for requesting an nbd drive instead of a local file. The guestfs plugin can still be built, so no configure changes are needed; but skip the tests that fail to compile so that 'make check' can at least complete.

From: Nikolay Ivanets <stenavin@gmail.com> This patch adds 4096 bytes sector size for output disk. Side notes: While working on this patch I reveal long standing issue: virt-make-fs can fail if source directory/archive contains certain amount of really small or empty files or wide tree of directories. That is because of lack of available inodes on a small file system to keep files

Miscellaneous fixes to: - Handling of Ceph drives now works end-to-end (RHBZ#1026688). - In particular, you can now use rbd:/// URIs in guestfish (and they work). - Parse Ceph & NBD network drives from libvirt XML correctly, so that existing domains with Ceph/NBD drives can be added (eg. using guestfish -d option). - Add more testing of the above.

I'm using a Windows raw disk image that is "converted" to the VDI format by custom code that prepends a header to the image. I use 'vdi' for GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT of guestfs_add_drive_opts(). After launching the appliance, the call to guestfs_list_partitions() results in an empty list. Is there a way to add the drive but have an offset into the image file as a "starting point"? So that it could skip the header which apparently is causing the...

...ction has a potential vulnerability, although it will only affect you if you are modifying untrusted raw-format guests. The suggested replacement is 'add_drive_opts' (which also has more features). http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#guestfs_add_drive http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#guestfs_add_drive_opts https://bugzilla.redhat.com/642934 (3) Instead of using 'mount', use 'mount_options'. The 'mount' call adds some flags to the mountpoint which are not very useful and also make disk writes very slow. http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#guestfs_mount http://libguestfs.org...

Run something like: qemu-img create -b orig_disk -f qcow2 my_overlay and change the guestfs_add_drive_opts call to use ?my_overlay? and don't use the readonly flag. > I'm talking about read-only mode so the real disks are not touched.

Hi, I could not find any option to set iSCSI initiator iqn while using guestfish, although the underlying qemu command has this option. It appears that each time guestfish tries to connect to iSCSI LUN, a randomly generated initiator iqn is being used. This is preventing guestfish to connect to the iSCSI target in our environment as the target allows incoming connection based on the preconfigured
