I've attached v2v/STATUS. There's still a bit to do. I'm not yet proposing this for inclusion, just discussion. Apart from the tool itself, I think there's mileage in considering how the functionality of Sys::Guestfs::Lib could be given more structure. I think there's considerable mileage in moving much of Sys::Guestfs::Lib into Sys::Guestfs::GuestOS. I haven't tried

As part of a new virt-v2v feature, I've been thinking about how to write data to an arbitrary block device in the appliance. I need to be able to write arbitrary chunks of data to specific places on the device. This will need a new API, as guestfs_pread can't open a block device. While I'm at it, I'd like to create a new family of APIs which operate on a file handle: int

I've attached a patch to generator.ml for the proposed new file apis. Note that hread, hpread, hwrite and hpwrite are slightly different to the apis I proposed previously. I've also added hallocate for good measure.

We just released virt-v2v 0.8.5, which also covers virt-p2v. This is primarily a bugfix release, with a couple of new features thrown in. The major changes are summarised below: V2V *** * Default -ic and -oc to qemu:///session or qemu:///system as appropriate depending on root. * Allow Windows conversions to succeed when firstboot.bat, rhsrvany.exe and rhev-apt.exe aren't available. *

We've recently discovered that libguestfs can't handle guests which use md. There are (at least) 2 reasons for this: Firstly, the appliance doesn't include mdadm. Without this, md devices aren't detected during the boot process. Simply adding mdadm to the appliance package list fixes this. Secondly, md devices referenced in fstab as, e.g. /dev/md0, aren't handled

We've currently got a bug in libguestfs which means we can't inspect filesystems in btrfs subvolumes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=824021 This is the default configuration if you select btrfs in F17+. The issue is that it requires an api to fix it, as the return values of inspect_os, inspect_get_filesystems and inspect_get_mountpoints can't express a btrfs

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.

Hi, I'm experiencing a weird behavior when tried to use guestmount with a XFS formatted volume. I have created a RHEL 8 virtual machine using libvirt. I have retrieved the disk image on a RHEL 7.7 server to mount the image root filesystem and explore it. The command returns an error message: # guestmount -a /disks/jamesdream.qcow2 -m /dev/sda1 /mnt/ libguestfs: error: mount_options: mount

I've summarised how the GObject bindings work below, which should hopefully help reviewing the generator/generated code. There are a couple of points in here I'm still not 100% happy with. Specifically the handling of FBuffer and the Cancellable flag. Both are explained below. I'm interested in suggestions. Return values: ************** All functions which can return an error

Hello, I have a vmdk having an LV with an ext3 FS where some files have extended attributes and acls set. These do not appear set while accessing them when mounted using guestmount. I do not know if it is easy or difficult to implement this, so I'd like to take your opinion. what I did was changed the default mount options in daemon/mount.c from "ro" to
