Hello everyone! I am working on resizing qcow2 images using virt-resize+liguestfs. E.g. I when shrinking a partition, I have to resize filesystem using resize2fs-size. The problem is that I cannot find out minimal partition size (aka resize2fs -P). The only way is calling "resize2fs-size 1K", wait for resize2fs to claim "resize2fs: New size smaller than minimu...

And how would it help? If I shrink, a want a VM to occupy less maximum space. virt-sparsify (I guess you are talking about it) will reduce space taken by guest disk image by now, but won't tighten...

...atch for adding a tmpdir OPTION for virt-sparsify like virt-sparsify -t /mnt/vm/tmpdir f18.qcow2 f18.qcow2.spars before contribute .... i was eager to ask for your thoughts. Do you believe this would be useful or too much trouble for nothing ? Do you believe that we could use a TMPDIR option for liguestfs in general ?

Yes, it'll require only the following files and directory (using their normal install location): /usr/lib64/libguestf...

Since this cannot be done through PIP, The PIP problem is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1075594 Unfortunately we are stuck here because the pypi website still has a license that we cannot live

I think I will be able to install the python library in the venv using the tarball. However, won't my liguestfs application require some of the binaries installed as part of 'make install' for running? I am trying to not have libguestfs installed outside of the venv.

Hi All, I am trying to run guestfish inside an Ubuntu instance running in VirtualBox. I'm running into problems, and my first question, is this setup even possible? I compiled and installed libguestfs-1.8.4. Running libguestfs-test-tool fails with the following output. Would appreciate any advice, Chris new guestfs handle 0x8b77958 ===== Test starts here ===== LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 library
