I've pushed this change already actually. No one seems to know if this option is safe. If you see strange timing-related things happening in libguestfs, let us know! Rich.

[Since Hilko asked me about this on IRC ...] The current plan is to rebase libguestfs in RHEL 6.3: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=719879 I would like to get as many features from upstream libguestfs into this as possible, but also make sure they have been well-tested by Fedora users. Also there are some new tools arriving in libguestfs upstream in the current development branch

This set of patches fixes virt-rescue rather cleanly. In particular the problems with handling ^C are completely fixed. Work still to be done before this can go upstream: - Shutdown doesn't work properly if you exit the shell. At the moment to exit you must do 'reboot -f'.

There are some enhancements which could be made (in follow up work): - An escape sequence and escape commands that could be handled by virt-rescue, eg. to shut down the appliance, mount or unmount filesystems. - `virt-rescue -i' could be implemented cleanly by performing the right API calls before handing control to the

Version 3: - Tidies up the code further. - Implements correct handling of SIGTSTP and SIGCONT. - Adds: ^] s - sync filesystems - Adds: ^] z - suspend virt-rescue Rich.
