similar to: [PATCH 0/9] FOR DISCUSSION ONLY: daemon error handling

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

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. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat

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. Supports shell scripting, bindings from many languages.

This is the third version of the FUSE bindings for libguestfs. Still, read and write calls don't work, but you can now navigate through the filesystem hierarchy efficiently. Rich. .gitignore | 3 + HACKING | 3 + Makefile.am | 5 + README | 2 + TODO | 37 +-- bindtests | 13 + bootstrap | 2 +

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

Hi Rich, I've updated hivex to use the latest from gnulib and fixed a few syntax-check failures. With these changes, almost all of "make distcheck" succeeds. (details coming separately) >From c6300c44a1eda1a55a23249fde94882ea5a1c430 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering <meyering at redhat.com> Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2012 11:28:40 +0200 Subject: [PATCH hivex 1/2] maint:

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 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

Hi, This series updates to the latest gnulib, after making most of its "make syntax-check" tests pass. There are still a few tests (listed in cfg.mk) that are simply skipped. To enable one, just remove its test name from the list of tests to skip and run "make syntax-check". [PATCH hivex 01/14] maint: add cfg.mk to prepare for syntax-check [PATCH hivex 02/14] maint: remove

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.

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

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

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'

NOT a problem, just a question about distro checking: the default value is REDHAT, then you check debian (or ubuntu) and then archlinux why are you using two if statements ? -- Evaggelos Balaskas - Unix System Engineer http://gr.linkedin.com/in/evaggelosbalaskas
