Inspired by something Glauber asked me about today, I made a very simple pair of patches which add a 'virt-rescue' command to libguestfs. This uses the appliance as a "rescue appliance", so people can boot into a disk image and repair it in an unstructured, interactive way. (Specifically, Glauber's question was how to run fsck interactively - with this patch you could do

Just a note that I released version 1.0.56 yesterday. The main reason for doing a release was a large number of RHEL 5 fixes that allowed me to actually get an EPEL build out. The source is here: http://libguestfs.org/download/ and Fedora 11, 12 and EPEL 5 binaries are here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8391 There are some experimental, internal changes in this

The tests currently break on my Debian machine. The reason is that the squashfs that we use to store test data has an incompatible format with the kernel used in the appliance. Anyway, avoid using a squashfs at all, and use an ISO instead.

The change to "null vmchannel" didn't get reflected in the configure script which still checks for vmchannel in qemu. This patch tidies up this part of the configure script so we don't fail, provided we have support for user mode networking (which is required for null vmchannel). This patch didn't make it into 1.0.71. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red

This patch is in preparation for allowing libguestfs to use alternate "vmchannel" implementations. Although it's not a functional change, I think it is worthwhile on its own because use of the term "vmchannel" in the names of constants is inappropriate since (a) the "-net channel" option is now properly known upstream as "guestfwd", and (b) no one can
