I'm wondering whether or not anyone has tried to use guestmount on an image with a ZFS partition (MBR partition table). I can't seem to find much on the internet regarding it, but I do see hints that may lead me to a solution. I'm under the impression that libguestfs can use what ever is available to the kernel on the host -- in my case I have zfs-use installed and running. I

There's a new syntax check rule from gnulib. It requires that you write e.g., exit (EXIT_SUCCESS), not exit (0). And the same for 1/EXIT_FAILURE and any other constants. There were a lot of violations, including a few false positives, so I started with the exemptions (see the .x-sc file below). Then I converted the vast majority automatically, with this: maint: use EXIT_SUCCESS and

Upon seeing RWM Jones article "Using mount-local API from C" I became curious because I thought there WAS a way to combine aspects of FUSE with the tools provided by libguestfs. So if I wanted to create my own filesystem using callbacks placed in the 'fuse_operations' struct (parameter to 'fuse_main()'), I could do so using guestfs. But after reading the article and

Second round of patches. These work so far that you can get directory listings and stuff like that ...

Not sure if this possible, but I have a KVM guest running Solaris 10 with the OS on ZFS and I am trying to use libguestfs/guestfish/guestmount to get to the VM. I am running Red Hat EL 5.4 with EPEL rpms as required. The VM is on a LV and it boots fine, but I can't seem to get the syntax correct to get libguestfs to deal with it. Guestmount seemed like the best option because it supports FUSE

This appears to fix the last of the missing includes: >From 4e8c86d43a330ac79624a78d7ef40aa17f8fb4db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering <meyering at redhat.com> Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2011 14:34:38 +0200 Subject: [PATCH libguestfs] include string.h and libintl.h, as needed * df/df.c: As above. * df/main.c: As above. * df/output.c: As above. * fuse/guestmount.c: As above. *

Hello Richard and all, (continuing from https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2014-September/msg00112.html ). I'm experimenting with libguestfs on non-linux VMs, encountered errors on FreeBSD9.3 and MINIX3 (and few others, but these ones are easy to share), with host Ubuntu 14.04.01 LTS x86-64. Attached are logs from "virt-inspector -v -x" for each VM. The images are here:

This version doesn't crash or cause hung processes or stuck mountpoints, so that's an improvement. Rich.

Many thanks for a quick reply, see also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1413499#c5 Looks like the same issue as mine. But any way - a full log of guestmount, running it with -v -x and host + VM info are attached, probably I've missed something important in the output.

This patch is just for review. It enables FUSE support in the API via two new calls, 'guestfs_mount_local' and 'guestfs_umount_local'. FUSE turns out to be very easy to deadlock (necessitating that the machine be rebooted). Running the test from the third patch is usually an effective way to demonstrate this. However I have not yet managed to produce a simple reproducer that
