similar to: [PATCH] Use mount-options instead of mount to avoid implicit -o sync.

The existing mechanism was clunky, slow and used ~ 10 MB of local disk. Rich.

From: "Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones at redhat.com> If the parent process uses a pipe (or any fd, but pipes are a particular problem), then the recovery process would hold open the file descriptor(s) of the pipe, meaning that it could not be fully closed in the parent. Because the recovery process doesn't use exec(2), this wasn't avoidable even using FD_CLOEXEC. Avoid this

Hi, this series does a couple of code reorganizations/refactoring in code used by tools: the windows path handling code, and the two types of file editing (using editor, and using perl expression). There's still a code duplication between the two variants of file editing, but it is just within a single source, and can be easily solved now (planning as next step). Pino Toscano (13): edit:

There's a new syntax check rule from gnulib. It requires that you write e.g., exit (EXIT_SUCCESS), not exit (0). And the same for 1/EXIT_FAILURE and any other constants. There were a lot of violations, including a few false positives, so I started with the exemptions (see the .x-sc file below). Then I converted the vast majority automatically, with this: maint: use EXIT_SUCCESS and

[PATCH 1/7] mount: Add mount_vfs_nochroot This is significantly reworked from before. umount is gone as discussed, and variable motion is minimised. [PATCH 2/7] btrfs: Update btrfs_subvolume_list to take Already provisionally ACKed. Previous comment was that cleanup could be tidier. I looked into creating a new cleanup function for fs_buf, but it isn't possible (or simple, anyway) in this

The current way to get the size of a filesystem is to query the size in bytes of the device. However, this gives the whole size of the device where a filesystem is stored, and it does not consider the actual size for which the filesystem is configured (e.g. in case it was shrunk). A simple reproducer for this is: $ guestfish -N test.img=fs:ext4:2G resize2fs-size /dev/sda1 1073741824 As result,

guestfs_list_filesystems uses mount/umount to discover btrfs sub-volumes and since 1.37 it generates random mountpoint so it will longer affect already mounted filesystems if either. --- generator/actions_core.ml | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/generator/actions_core.ml b/generator/actions_core.ml index ed8cb16..9a695c0 100644 --- a/generator/actions_core.ml
