similar to: [PATCH / discussion only] Lib.pm: Add file_architecture command.

This patch isn't quite finished. I also need to modify the virt-inspector "query mode" so that it can display the architecture. Nevertheless, text and XML output works for both Linux and Windows guests.

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

Not quite sure what happened to the waitpid()s which were along that path, but at some point they seem to have got deleted. This is a fix for: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=518747 I haven't been able to run the tests yet however, because currently Rawhide is broken (ntfsprogs has missing dependencies).

The more I look at this patch, the less I like it. I would summarise why I think it's wrong here, but it's better if you look at the message I posted on the gnulib mailing list here first: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2009-11/msg00434.html Directly accessing errno on Windows is wrong: you won't see the true reasons for an error by doing that. However depending on

OK, I believe this is the cause of the 3 related failures on CentOS / RHEL. Calls to guestfs_umount ("/dev/...") didn't have the device path being rewritten.

We've split off virt-v2v components into a separate repository: http://gitorious.org/virt-v2v/ (Previously they were part of the libguestfs repository).

As outlined here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2009-November/msg00171.html These patches fix some of the simpler things. Some of the things (the missing headers) are genuine bugs. Note in order to cross-compile at all you have to comment out the section in the daemon/configure.ac where it detects custom format specifiers. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat

This isn't very well tested at the moment because my main testing machine is broken. So just for comment, only to be applied with caution. This patch has two new commands which make it much easier to look up filesystems by their UUID or label.

Here is an update to the patch posted yesterday. The changes are: (1) Don't use inline (for mdbooth). (2) Added a comment to HACKING (for mdbooth).

This is a Debian package for virt-install (a dependency of virt-manager). It is both a standalone command line tool for installing new virtual guests, and a library of Python functions used by virt-manager for the same task.
