The latest version of dispatch.fcgi in the trunk has the following code snippet: trap("USR1") do # Go to exit as soon as possible. end One of the issues I encountered while debugging fcgi under windows is that SIGUSR1 is not supported in the native Windows version of Ruby (though it is in cygwin). Currently, I have it commented out to allow dispatch.fcgi to run without blowing up.

Since it is required, it might as well be magic ;) Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> --- As written, applies on top of my v3 patch for dlopen; but it would be easy enough to rebase and take this one now even if we aren't sure about the dlopen stuff plugins/vddk/nbdkit-vddk-plugin.pod | 5 ++++- plugins/vddk/vddk.c | 3 ++- tests/test-vddk.sh

In v2: ack'ed preliminary patches have been pushed, and I've added a lot of testsuite coverage as well as putting the new API to use in nbdinfo. Eric Blake (2): api: Add nbd_opt_list_meta_context info: List available meta-contexts lib/internal.h | 1 + generator/API.ml | 84 ++++++++-

I'm posting this now, as I'm at the end of a workday and I got things working for manual experimentation. Still to do: - write interop tests for qemu-nbd and nbdkit (including my proposed patch addition of qemu-nbd -A to show qemu:allocation-depth) - figure out if we can make 'nbdinfo --map' use the new API to automatically select all contexts advertised by the server Eric Blake

Hi Eric, Nir. $SUBJECT - it's complicated! Imagine a scenario where we have extended the file plugin so you can point it at a directory and it will use the client-supplied export name to select a file to serve. Also we have extended the tar filter so that you can map tar file components into export names. You may be able to see where this is going ... Now we point the file plugin at a

Trey, The Compaq NC7770 PCI-X Gigabit Server Adapter supports PXE: http://www.compaq.com/products/servers/networking/NC7770/ This NIC will be available next month. Also, our strategy is to support PXE on all ProLiant server embedded NICs (10/100/1000) beginning with G2 (generation2) models. Also, most existing DL and all BL servers currently support PXE on their embedded (10/100) NICs. Let

v1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-January/thread.html#00198 For v2 I changed most existing prerequisite tests to use the new mechanism. I only changed simple tests. There are a few more complex tests that don't fit the “requires model” and those are not changed. I normalized qemu-io/qemu-img testing to always use the --version flag, where previously we used a mix

There's enough here to need a review; some of it probably needs backporting to stable-1.12. This probably breaks tests on Haiku or other platforms that have not been as on-the-ball about atomic CLOEXEC; feel free to report issues that arise, and I'll help come up with workarounds (even if we end up leaving a rare fd leak on less-capable systems). Meanwhile, I'm still working on my
