Hello. I recently upgraded to 9.1-RC3, everything went fine, however the / partition its about to get full. Im really new to FreeBSD so I don?t know what files can be deleted safely. # find -x / -size +10000 -exec du -h {} \; 16M /boot/kernel/kernel 60M /boot/kernel/kernel.symbols 6.7M /boot/kernel/if_ath.ko.symbols 6.4M /boot/kernel/vxge.ko.symbols 9.4M

Hi, I tried to rewrite virt-rescue from C to OCaml. Goals were feature parity with C implementation, smaller codebase and hopefully better maintainability. I still don't know if I've covered everything right. So, please check it out. PS: my git send-email seems to be broken, so I'm sending it from thunderbird Thanks! maros

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

This implements a few useful escape sequences: ><rescue> ^]? virt-rescue escape sequences: ^]? - print this message ^]h - print this message ^]i - print inspection data ^]q - quit virt-rescue ^]u - unmount filesystems ^]x - quit virt-rescue to send the escape key to the rescue shell, type it twice ^]i root device: /dev/sda3 product name: Fedora 25 (Twenty Five) type: linux

This supersedes the two previous patch series: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-March/msg00017.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-March/msg00046.html Rich.

Since /dev and other directories contain sub-mounts, suggest using --rbind instead of --bind. This also allows us to remove the /dev/pts line. --- rescue/rescue.c | 7 +++---- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/rescue/rescue.c b/rescue/rescue.c index 53afdae..9a7c988 100644 --- a/rescue/rescue.c +++ b/rescue/rescue.c @@ -453,10 +453,9 @@ do_suggestion (struct drv

Hi, this is a prototype of something I've around for some time. Basically it is about adding new appliances in addition to the main one currently used and kept up-to-date automatically: this way it is possible to create new appliances with extra packages, to be used in specific contexts (like virt-rescue, with more network/recovery tools) without filling the main appliance. It's still

Depends on the previous 5 patches that modified virt-rescue to work without direct mode: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-March/msg00017.html Rich.

I've added a few patches upstream to make static linking work, and it is [surprisingly] possible to get it to work. You'll have to check out libguestfs from git. Read the README file very carefully, and get familiar with building from source. This is easier on a recent Fedora machine or VM. Once you are comfortable building libguestfs from source, configure it like this: ./configure

This fixes the main issues in virt-rescue and is usable. 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

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'. Future improvements: - An escape sequence and escape commands that could be handled by virt-rescue,

In order to keep only 3 kernel images on a CentOS 7 I edited /etc/yum.conf and I put installonly_limit=3 This parameter works for standard kernel images, but does not work for rescue images: $ ls -al /boot/vmlinuz* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5027376 May 13 20:46 /boot/vmlinuz-0-rescue-2554e2ffad84452bb07401bed0a61089 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3084288 Jun 27 06:42

This is a repost of a previously posted set. It's been updated following review comments. [PATCH 1/4] Add a core_pattern debug command Added missing return statements. [PATCH 2/4] Call sync after guestfsd exits Remove redundant sleep 1; sync [PATCH 3/4] Shut down the appliance cleanly [PATCH 4/4] Ignore launch() error in virt-rescue These were previously 2 patches. They are otherwise

To allow easier downstream tweaks to the virt-rescue welcome message, just output the content of the /etc/issue file in the appliance. Thus, a new extras.tar.gz file appeared in supermin.d containing the etc/issue file and future tweaks like this one. --- appliance/Makefile.am | 11 +++++++++++ appliance/init | 11 ++--------- appliance/issue | 9 +++++++++ 3 files changed, 22

This way it will not try to free uninitialized memory when going out of scope, and the inspector mode is not enabled.

Hi, I have been able to boot with pxe and load linux rescue, it loads loader and ask me lang, keyboard,load base from nfs, etc... then it ask me about mount chroot or skip, I just choose skip to go to shell. What I want is boot in rescue mode and get a shell directly without having to enter lang, keyboard, nfs ip and dir, skip, etc... once booted on shell I want it automatically run a script

Hello, I am trying to run this command virt-rescue --suggest -d XYZ virt-rescue --network -d XYZ the prompt is looking like this: I have no name!@(none): now I mounted the root partition suggested by virt-rescue to /sysroot then chroot /sysroot after that I tried to rebuild an initrd.img with the following command update-initramfs -c -k 3.2.0-58-generic But it failed with following error:
