It is never normally valid to use the mount-local* APIs when you haven't mounted some filesystems in the libguestfs namespace. If you try it, it results in some odd errors. The mount-local-run call is successful, but subsequent operations fail: $ mkdir -p /tmp/mnt $ guestfish -x -N fs mount-local /tmp/mnt : mount-local-run libguestfs: error: lstat: lstat_stub: you must call 'mount'

...y drawback is that the guestfish command above will leave the local FUSE mountpoint still mounted after the guestfish run. Not sure whether it is worth doing anything automatic about that though, maybe just adding a error (g, _("remember to umount the mountpoint by invoking `guestumount` or using unmount-local")); before the «return -1» in the patch above could help. -- Pino Toscano
