similar to: [PATCH] guestfs_file_arch command

The previously library-side ‘file_architecture’ API is reimplemented in the daemon, in OCaml. There are some significant differences compared to the C implementation: - The C code used libmagic. That is replaced by calling the ‘file’ command (because that is simpler than using the library). - The C code had extra cases to deal with compressed files. This is not necessary since the

This patch series adds support for some simple operations on hive files, and I've now tested and verified that those operations work correctly. All except for the last patch (12/12) are ready to be committed. The last patch is WIP.

Hi, I'm trying to build 5-STABLE, I have cvsuped the latest source, cleared out /usr/obj and I still get this problem. Any idea what could be causing it? Mark ===> lib/libmagic cat /usr/src/lib/libmagic/../../contrib/file/Header /usr/src/lib/libmagic/../../contrib/file/Localstuff /usr/src/lib/libmagic/../../contrib/file/Magdir/zyxel /usr/src/lib/libmagic/../../contrib/file/Magdir/xdelta

The background to this is that virt-v2v needs to boot the appliance with a specific block device emulation (eg. IDE, not virtio), because when it runs mkinitrd, mkinitrd will assume that the block devices available in the appliance are also the ones which apply at guest boot time. There's no way to override this assumption in mkinitrd (particularly in the old mkinitrd versions that shipped

Hi, I am trying to get an IP adress, nfs root host and directory information for a xen vm on the kernel level at boot time from dhcp. When the dhcp requests from the xen VM arrive on my server, my dhcp server denies to give them an IP address, it''s syslog reads: May 4 05:13:21 amalgam dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 255.255.255.255 (1.2.3.4) from 00:16:3e:00:00:11 via eth0: ignored (not

Couple of notes: (1) You may need to 'make clean' after applying this patch. There is some missing dep so it seems the appliance isn't fully rebuilt. (2) [Comment mainly directed to Matt] This is not a candidate to be automatically added to the stable 1.2 branch. It's far too large of a change for a stable release. Since this change may be required for V2V, please clone

Hi, I'm working on the ticket #743 omindex: delay libmagic checks <https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/743>. As the ticket's Description mention, the call to libmagic is expensive than call the stat, so we can check the size by call the stat to get size before call libmagic to get a mime type. But how about the timestamps check? since timestamps check need to iterate the DB to check if

One of the things we would really like to be able to do for V2V is to install a new driver in a Windows guest. There are a couple of reasons for this: * The guest may not be bootable without the driver installed, for example because the underlying virtual hardware has changed from vmscsi to virtio. * If the guest can boot, the alternative is to modify the guest to run a script on next boot.

I have around 550,000 files (4.7GB) that I need to index. It is a huge mix of file types. I don't need access to this via web. I just use for research locally. For now I do a grep and wait several minutes. omindex complains of Unknown extension: .... - skipping As I have many thousands of files that don't have extensions. (No Period.) Any way to use omindex to index regardless of

HI all, I'm just testing out the capabilities of xapian and omega. Environment - Fedora15. Disk to be indexed - 2GB? - FAT16 filesystem. Named "New Volume" When I add a text file to the disk, by right-clicking in Fedora and choosing Create New - > Text File The system creates the text file as expected. I added some content/words, however, xapian-omega will not index it:

If libmagic isn't installed then the guestfs_file_architecture API doesn't work. This means that inspection will always return <arch>unknown</arch> for every guest. This subtly breaks a few features. In particular it was reported that the virt-builder/virt-customize --install option did not work because the "unknown" architecture of the guest was not compatible

Here is a revised patch after some suggestions: 1. Removed extraneous changes (the white space changes that are -/+ whitespace), and the commented out code. 2. Keep the warning for linking dynamic libraries in LinkLibraries.cpp I still don't have a good solution to the problem of -L paths that include bytecode versions of the native libraries we're trying to link. Consider the

A new version of this patch, previously posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2009-August/thread.html#00031 I've made some of the changes that Jim suggested, but I didn't fix the error handling of readdir because that loop always reads from a tmpfs. It didn't seem like there would realistically be any read errors(?) These commands are compromised in their
