similar to: [PATCH] Use ext4 dev tools on RHEL 5 (RHBZ#576688).

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=619334 This is a slightly unsatisfactory patch which allows coredumps to be captured when they occur inside the appliance. You can capture coredumps by doing: export LIBGUESTFS_COREDUMP=/sysroot/core.%t.%p.%e or equivalently: g.set_coredump ("/sysroot/core.%t.%p.%e") or variations thereof, see the manual page. When a coredump occurs,

1/8 generator: Rearrange argt logically (RHBZ#642934,CVE-2010-3851). 2/8 generator: Optional arguments, add-drive-opts (RHBZ#642934,CVE-2010-3851). These two previously posted. 3/8 fish: Specify format of disks (RHBZ#642934,CVE-2010-3851). Updates to guestfish to add the --format option and to make -d copy the format from libvirt. 4/8 fuse: Specify format of disks (RHBZ#642934,CVE-2010-3851).

This series of patches aim to make adding disks from libvirt domains easy through the core API. These two new APIs allow you to add the disks from a libvirt domain. The higher level add-domain API takes the name of the libvirt domain as a string and connects to libvirt itself. The lower level add-libvirt-dom API relies on the program to connect to libvirt and pass the virDomainPtr into the API

This simple patch adds support for the BSD "growfs" command, so you can grow BSD filesystems [in theory -- see below]. It also adds a new optional group called "ufsutils" which indicates if the libguestfs API supports the guestfs_ufs_growfs call, since it's not available on Fedora. (http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#availability) I tested this on Debian, and although

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 series of patches prepares the way for a later series which will add write support for Windows Registry 'hive' files to our 'hivex' mini library. About hivex: http://libguestfs.org/hivex.3.html About the Windows Registry: Forget it - there are no reliable references. However the Wikipedia page explains some of the top level concepts:

This series of patches, now up to 13 parts, contains lots of bug fixes and groundwork required before we add write support to the hivex library.

RHEL 4's mkinitrd will fail to recognise that root is on LVM when running on a recent kernel/udev due to changes in naming. This patch detects LVM root for RHEL 4, and uses a dirty hack to frig mkinitrd if required.
