I've attached v2v/STATUS. There's still a bit to do. I'm not yet proposing this for inclusion, just discussion. Apart from the tool itself, I think there's mileage in considering how the functionality of Sys::Guestfs::Lib could be given more structure. I think there's considerable mileage in moving much of Sys::Guestfs::Lib into Sys::Guestfs::GuestOS. I haven't tried

I'm trying to use guestmount to install some kernel modules in a guest: [mbooth at mbooth linux-2.6 (amit)]$ make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=~/etch ln: creating symbolic link `/home/mbooth/etch/lib/modules/2.6.32-rc6/source': No such file or directory make: *** [_modinst_] Error 1 I think something's screwy with symlinks.

With VMWare (server), you can pre-allocate your image in several vmdk files. But I have not bee able to mount that in guestfs. On file (e.g. guest.vmdk) is a text file pointing to all the other files (e.g. guest-f001.vmdk, guest-f002.vmdk,...). I tried the following scenarios without success: 1- just adding the base vmdk: add_drive guest.vmdk 2- adding all the files: add_drive guest-f001.vmdk

As part of a new virt-v2v feature, I've been thinking about how to write data to an arbitrary block device in the appliance. I need to be able to write arbitrary chunks of data to specific places on the device. This will need a new API, as guestfs_pread can't open a block device. While I'm at it, I'd like to create a new family of APIs which operate on a file handle: int

I've attached a patch to generator.ml for the proposed new file apis. Note that hread, hpread, hwrite and hpwrite are slightly different to the apis I proposed previously. I've also added hallocate for good measure.

We just released virt-v2v 0.8.5, which also covers virt-p2v. This is primarily a bugfix release, with a couple of new features thrown in. The major changes are summarised below: V2V *** * Default -ic and -oc to qemu:///session or qemu:///system as appropriate depending on root. * Allow Windows conversions to succeed when firstboot.bat, rhsrvany.exe and rhev-apt.exe aren't available. *

We've recently discovered that libguestfs can't handle guests which use md. There are (at least) 2 reasons for this: Firstly, the appliance doesn't include mdadm. Without this, md devices aren't detected during the boot process. Simply adding mdadm to the appliance package list fixes this. Secondly, md devices referenced in fstab as, e.g. /dev/md0, aren't handled

We've currently got a bug in libguestfs which means we can't inspect filesystems in btrfs subvolumes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=824021 This is the default configuration if you select btrfs in F17+. The issue is that it requires an api to fix it, as the return values of inspect_os, inspect_get_filesystems and inspect_get_mountpoints can't express a btrfs

Hi, I use Xen 3.0.3-1 on a Debian Etch with LVM to store my DomUs. I already exploit a Windows 2000 in a DomU but I can''t install a windows NT4 Server: I have a death of Blue Screen during the installation begining. Did someone test that scary NT4 DomU with success? I think NT4 need a disk driver but wich one? and how can I give it one? My last solution to test is: to convert a NT4

Hi, I am using rsync for my customers to have disaster recovery off-site with files from a VMware Server (under Linux). All works very well, but when I defragment the VM's (once a week) or Exchange defragments it's datastore the disk layout changes offcourse and sometimes a lot. What do I do: - I am making a local copy with vmware-vdiskmanager to an USB disk in the split

Hi, Maybe this is just a newbie question. I am trying to inspect VMware images with guestfish. I am running Fedora 15 in a VSphere VM. Once Fedora is installed I do: yum update yum install '*guestf*' Then I run guesfish on a copy of a Fedora 15 disk. guestfish -rw -I -a Fedora15-2-disk1.vmdk with the following result: libguestfs: error: unexpected end of file

I've summarised how the GObject bindings work below, which should hopefully help reviewing the generator/generated code. There are a couple of points in here I'm still not 100% happy with. Specifically the handling of FBuffer and the Cancellable flag. Both are explained below. I'm interested in suggestions. Return values: ************** All functions which can return an error
