similar to: [PATCH 1/3] Add guestfs_find0 API call which doesn't have limits

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

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.

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 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. Supports shell scripting, bindings from many languages.

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 series of patches, now up to 13 parts, contains lots of bug fixes and groundwork required before we add write support to the hivex library. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com Fedora now supports 80 OCaml packages (the OPEN alternative to F#)

Problems were found using valgrind. With these 5 patches, hivex can process registry files without provoking any valgrind warnings.

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 are general updates to: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2009-October/msg00037.html [Libguestfs] [PATCH 4/5] New tool: virt-tar and: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2009-October/msg00038.html [Libguestfs] [PATCH 5/5] New tool: virt-ls The code uses die "prog: ...\n". The parameters to virt-tar are swapped so they always go in source -> destination

This short patch series fixes various problems with the Java bindings, including enabling support for functions that return hash tables (returned as Map<String,String>). With this, the Java bindings are improved although still not perfect. The last remaining issue is to implement support for functions that take optional arguments.

As suggested by Jim in this earlier message: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2009-September/msg00152.html Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones New in Fedora 11: Fedora Windows cross-compiler. Compile Windows programs, test, and build Windows installers. Over 70 libraries supprt'd http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MinGW

In the current Perl library we have a function called resolve_windows_path which handles the useful [for Windows guests] case where we need to resolve the true, case-sensitive path behind a case-insensitive Windows path. For example, a Windows path like "C:\Windows\System32" can be presented to Linux by NTFS 3g in a variety of ways, eg: /WINDOWS/system32 /WINDOWS/SYSTEM32

These two very simple patches add a pwrite-device API call. I have been conservative and not yet added the equivalent pread-device call, although that could be added in future. The motivation for this is in virt-resize: We need a way to zap the partition table cleanly[1], and obviously parted isn't working out for us[2]. Using this call we can zap MBR and GPT partition tables by overwriting

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

I've only done limited testing, but it does let you connect to an existing guestfsd running inside a guest, over virtio-serial. This is not ready to be applied. One thing I've not thought about is how well this fits in with plans to use this mechanism as an alternate way to launch the appliance via libvirt. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat

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
