similar to: [PATCH 0/3] Three code cleanups

This patch series adds support for outputing an ext2-based appliance from febootstrap-supermin-helper. The usage is very simple, you just add '-f ext2' flag and the name of the appliance file that you want to write to. The implementation uses libext2fs, which is a very low level way to create ext2 filesystems from scratch. We'd like to use libguestfs, but that's an obvious

This series of patches aim to make adding disks from libvirt domains easy through the core API. These two new APIs allow you to add the disks from a libvirt domain. The higher level add-domain API takes the name of the libvirt domain as a string and connects to libvirt itself. The lower level add-libvirt-dom API relies on the program to connect to libvirt and pass the virDomainPtr into the API

These small fixes are required to fix the build and tests on Debian (using the debootstrap/debirf appliance). There is currently another bug in the Debian tests which I'm looking into. hexdump always fails as follows: libguestfs: error: hexdump: hexdump: /test123: hexdump: /sysroot/test123: Bad file descriptor Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat

These patches are a distillation of the good patches from the previous large / for-discussion-only error handling patch. See: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2009-November/msg00298.html Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-df lists disk usage of guests without needing to install any software inside the virtual machine.

NOTE: This is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL and can eat babies ... Modify the guest libvirt XML to add the virtio-serial channel: <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/tmp/socket'/> <target type='virtio' name='org.libguestfs.channel.0'/> </channel> In the guest, compile guestfsd and run it like this: sudo

This is a set of bugfixes and enhancements to allow virt-resize to really expand Linux and Windows guests. Previously there were lots of bugs. This version has been tested on a variety of guests successfully. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines.

The current guestfs_find API call contains an undocumented limit: It needs to marshall the whole list of filenames into a single protocol message. Unfortunately just about any Linux guest breaks this limit if you try 'guestfs_find ("/")' so this isn't much use. These patches add a new API call (find0) which breaks this limit by using a FileOut parameter. It's slightly

This patch series implements user cancellation. What this means is that the "user" (or any library caller) can cancel certain long-running operations. Currently it is only possible to cancel upload and download operations (ie. anything in the generator which uses FileIn and FileOut). The mechanism in the protocol to implement cancellation already exists, and it is already used to

This patch is FYI as it needs more testing, although feel free to take a look at it if you want. Background: We'd like to change libguestfs so that the appliance can support optional features. This would mean you could have (for example) a 'libguestfs' base package and a 'libguestfs-xfs' package providing optional support for XFS filesystem tools. This would only apply to

1/8 generator: Rearrange argt logically (RHBZ#642934,CVE-2010-3851). 2/8 generator: Optional arguments, add-drive-opts (RHBZ#642934,CVE-2010-3851). These two previously posted. 3/8 fish: Specify format of disks (RHBZ#642934,CVE-2010-3851). Updates to guestfish to add the --format option and to make -d copy the format from libvirt. 4/8 fuse: Specify format of disks (RHBZ#642934,CVE-2010-3851).

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.

This is a fix for: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642930 These patches remove all use of the Perl inspection API (although leaving the code, since it is used by virt-v2v). The tools have been modified so they use the core inspection API. Virt inspector has been basically rewritten to remove excess cruft and to only use the core API (see the final commit for more details). Rich.
