...ist of tuples in the python bindings rather than the obvious dict. I propose fixing this, whilst also maintaining API compatibility for a period of time. The following apis return RHashtable: inspect_get_mountpoints list_filesystems inspect_get_drive_mappings tune2fs_l mountpoints md_detail blkid list_disk_labels I propose the following: h = guestfs.GuestFS(return_dict=True) If return_dict is set, any RHashtable api would return a dict rather than a list of tuples. If not, the behaviour would be unchanged. The default would be False. We would advertise immediately that this parameter is recommended for...

This is, I guess, version 3 of this patch series which adds disk labels and hotplugging (only hot-add implemented so far). The good news is .. it works! Rich.

This rounds off hotplugging support by allowing you to add and remove drives at any stage (before and after launch). Rich.

This is a follow-up to the other generator changes in: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-February/msg00217.html Rich.

If we want to permit more than 255 drives to be added, then we will have to add the disks to the same virtio-scsi target using different unit (LUN) numbers. Unfortunately SCSI LUN enumeration in the Linux is not deterministic (eg. two disks with target=0, lun=[0,1] can be enumerated as /dev/sda or /dev/sdb randomly). Dealing with that will require some very complex device name translation on the

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

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