The first patch preserves file mode, UID, GID and SELinux context across edited files. The second patch adds a useful new command in guestfish ('llz') which shows SELinux context (like 'ls -laZ') that was useful when debugging this. Rich.

Hi, attached there is a prototype of patch for adding a new copy-attributes command. Such command would allow copy the attributes of a "file" to another, so for example in guestfish: copy-attributes foo bar permissions:true xattributes:false would only copy the permissions of foo to bar, not copying its extended attributes too. Just few notes: - my first daemon command, so

This is a further, more comprehensive fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=788641 The guestfish 'edit' command (aka 'emacs', 'vi') suffered from the same problems as virt-edit and more. It could have failed and left a partially overwritten file, and it didn't preserve permissions etc from the original file. These three patches fix all this. The first
