similar to: [PATCH 0/2] Build guestfs_protocol separately in the daemon

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

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

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 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

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.

Although support for write(2) syscall is not yet implemented, we might consider cautiously merging this one. In read-only mode it seems to work fine and is stable under load.

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

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

This is a fix for: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642930 These patches remove all use of the Perl inspection API (although leaving the code, since it is used by virt-v2v). The tools have been modified so they use the core inspection API. Virt inspector has been basically rewritten to remove excess cruft and to only use the core API (see the final commit for more details). Rich.

These two patches implement the first (and hardest) part of the fix for CVE-2010-3851. This adds a way to specify the format when adding a drive, avoiding qemu's auto-detection. In order to avoid an explosion of different add_drive_* functions (we have 4 already), we have implemented a way to specify optional arguments to functions, so all we need is a single new 'add_drive_opts'

This patch series starts by tidying up the code for the virt-cat, virt-df, virt-edit, etc tools, moving them into a single directory and making the build system much simpler as a consequence. Then we add two new tools, virt-tar (a general purpose archive and upload tool) and virt-ls (for listing directories). No new functionality is enabled by these tools -- that is to say, you can do everything

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

We observed a while back that the Perl-based libguestfs tools were not being localized. In fact I've tracked this problem down to a regression some time ago and some subsequent changes we made.
