similar to: [PATCH] availability: Document how to check for single API calls

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

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

EPEL ("Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux") is an additional repository you can use to add packages to RHEL and derivatives. Modern libguestfs (1.19.xx) is now available in EPEL 5 updates-testing: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=327975 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libguestfs-1.19.13-4.el5 It is VERY important that you read the release notes BEFORE

The version libguestfs-winsupport installed is well 7.1-3.el7 and the qemu-kvm-rhev is 2.1.2-2.el7 In fact the qemu-img convert hangs.

Currently virt-inspector takes ages to run on RHEL 3 guests. I tracked this down to processing the old-style initrd images in these guests. These initrd images are compressed ext2 filesystems. 'cpio' tries to parse them as cpio files, and takes a very long time to fail (and spews out a lot of errors in the process). These two patches fix the problem: Firstly we introduce a new command

These commands let you set and get the SELinux context of the daemon and all operations in the API and processes run from the daemon: $ ./fish/guestfish --ro -a /dev/mapper/vg_trick-F11x64 \ selinux 1 : \ run : \ mount /dev/vg_f11x64/lv_root / : \ sh "/usr/sbin/load_policy" : \ getcon : \ setcon "system_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0" : \ getcon

This is a fix for: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642933 We had a lot of code before which used ad-hoc ways to list out all mountable filesystems in a guest. We now have a core inspection API (guestfs_list_filesystems) which does the same thing. These patches remove the last remaining use of the old way, in favour of using the core API.

This patch series allows you to shrink various objects, as requested in the following bugs: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585221 # resize2fs https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585222 # pvresize https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585223 # ntfsresize The first patch provides a consistent way to specify numbers with suffixes to guestfish, eg: truncate-size /foo

I am waiting the process hangs, now the conversion is still running...
