similar to: [PATCH] Add 'filesize' call.

Not quite sure what happened to the waitpid()s which were along that path, but at some point they seem to have got deleted. This is a fix for: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=518747 I haven't been able to run the tests yet however, because currently Rawhide is broken (ntfsprogs has missing dependencies).

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 requires changing the generator so it can handle passing optional arguments all thr way through to the daemon, changing the protocol (see previous patch set), and implementing the new mkfs-opts call. At the moment there is just an optional blocksize argument, thus mimicking what you can already do with 'mkfs-b'. But this change will allow us in future to encode much of the rest of

This patch is meant for discussion of the issues involved. I'd like to change the default for guestfish -a / -m command line options to open read-only. This creates less opportunity to corrupt disk images by opening them for write while another VM might be using them. With this patch you can specify: guestfish --rw ... which in itself does nothing since the default is currently

Patches 1-6 are general code quality improvements. Note that Guido previously asked us for the ability to build libguestfs without building the appliance. Patches 7-10 are specific to Mac OS X, but shouldn't break the build for existing platforms.

This patch is not complete yet because it needs to support Fedora, RHEL and Windows CDs. Some examples of the current output: $ virt-inspector ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso <?xml version="1.0"?> <operatingsystems> <operatingsystem> <root>/dev/sda</root> <name>linux</name> <distro>ubuntu</distro>

I had a go at writing a patch, but I think it's possible already without any patch. After launch you can get the PID of the qemu subprocess: guestfs_get_pid (g); --> returns PID You can use Linux to map this to a list of thread IDs: ls /proc/$PID/task/ --> returns a list of thread IDs [Yes, this is potentially racy, but in reality qemu has already started up fully after

As proposed earlier: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-April/msg00005.html I have created libguestfs 1.2 stable series and 1.3 development series. I have released tarballs for libguestfs 1.2.0 and 1.3.0. These are exactly the same as version 1.0.89 (I didn't even change the version number inside them). http://libguestfs.org/download/?C=M;O=D This is just to get things

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 +

Whenever config.status / configure runs it touches appliance/make.sh (even if the file hasn't changed) and that causes the appliance to be rebuilt completely. This patch breaks that dependency because building the appliance is time-consuming (since dracut was added) so we should try not to build it each time.

Recently we changed the daemon so it builds guestfs_protocol.o by this rule: $(libsrcdir)/guestfs_protocol.o: force $(MAKE) -C $(libsrcdir) guestfs_protocol.o guestfsd_LDADD = \ $(libsrcdir)/guestfs_protocol.o \ #... The problem with doing this when building on Windows is that the toplevel src/ directory will be configured differently from the daemon/ directory. This means that
