similar to: [PATCH 0/2] Implement guestfs_available API.

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.

Depending on which commands you run and from which language bindings, the command name in error messages can be doubled or even tripled. You could see errors like: foo: foo: /path: File not found These two patches address the problem.

This series of patches prepares the way for a later series which will add write support for Windows Registry 'hive' files to our 'hivex' mini library. About hivex: http://libguestfs.org/hivex.3.html About the Windows Registry: Forget it - there are no reliable references. However the Wikipedia page explains some of the top level concepts:

Thank you Rich, I checked the version and found that it printed an old 1.17.17 version which was deployed before. But I remembered i did check the version in guestfish shell and it said 1.17.40 before that?then i totally ignored the fact i had another version involved. I`ve changed the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the "undefined symbol" error disappeared.But some "inspection API not

This set of patches implements a test script for FUSE, and fixes some of the bugs that I found by doing that.

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

So I got a lot further building libguestfs on Ubuntu, up to the point where I can boot the appliance and run some simple commands. We need to push some patches upstream, and there are still some things in Ubuntu itself which are broken. This documents how far I've got. (1) libguestfs from git, Ubuntu 9.10, all updated to the latest versions. You will of course also need to read the README

Couple of notes: (1) You may need to 'make clean' after applying this patch. There is some missing dep so it seems the appliance isn't fully rebuilt. (2) [Comment mainly directed to Matt] This is not a candidate to be automatically added to the stable 1.2 branch. It's far too large of a change for a stable release. Since this change may be required for V2V, please clone

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.

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.

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

For me it has so far taken a lot longer. The problem is that the number of dependent packages is probably 100s. If you want something

This completes the implementation previously posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2012-October/msg00002.html Instead of using 'serial', the option is now called 'label' and these are collectively called disk labels.
