It seems a more reliable way to do it than our current method: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#guestfs_zero Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones New in Fedora 11: Fedora Windows cross-compiler.

The existing mechanism was clunky, slow and used ~ 10 MB of local disk. Rich.

This is the same as the previous patch, but the partition type is now chosen automatically from mbr or gpt, unless the user expresses a preference. https://gb.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2012-January/msg00136.html Rich.

Rather than me explaining over again what it does, I've included the man page below.

This miscellaneous patch adds bindings for: - ntfsfix - ntfsclone - ntfslabel and unifies filesystem label setting through a single API 'set-label' which replaces 'set-e2label' and is also able to set labels on NTFS using the ntfslabel program. 'ntfsfix' has been added as a possible way to fix RHBZ#797760. However I have not found a way to fully fix this bug. See

Split up the huge generator/actions.ml into several smaller files. Rich.
