[CC-ing to libguestfs mailing list] You might want to try building from the tarballs. You won't need OCaml to build from the tarballs (although that is available for Mac OS X, see: http://godi.camlcity.org/). If you want to see how we build for Fedora, see: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/libguestfs/libguestfs.spec?view=markup If building from git, make sure you start with the

I had some more ideas overnight: (1) Check that libparted0 is installed on the *host*. (2) Try to find out what libraries the parted binary requires on the host and appliance. On the host: ldd /usr/bin/parted On the appliance: virt-rescue --scratch ><rescue> ldd /usr/bin/parted (3) Remove the appliance and recreate it: rm -rf /var/tmp/.guestfs-* libguestfs-test-tool (4)

The background to this is that virt-v2v needs to boot the appliance with a specific block device emulation (eg. IDE, not virtio), because when it runs mkinitrd, mkinitrd will assume that the block devices available in the appliance are also the ones which apply at guest boot time. There's no way to override this assumption in mkinitrd (particularly in the old mkinitrd versions that shipped

Ok, thanks Rich, I will take a look and get back to you. On Wed, Feb 1, 2017 at 5:13 PM, Richard W.M.

Also I noticed from the log that you're running qemu 2.0.0 (from where?) Try qemu-kvm-rhev included in the repository, currently at version qemu-img-rhev-2.1.2-2.el7.x86_64.

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.

Just a note [possibly more of a warning] that I'm intending to switch the default backend in Fedora 18+ to libvirt this week. For more information about what this means, see: https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2012/07/23/new-in-libguestfs-use-libvirt-to-launch-the-appliance/#content Barring any bugs, the change ought to be transparent. The reasons why we're making this change in Fedora are:

CentOS 5.3 and RHEL 5.4 both fail on these 3 tests only: 82/212 test_zero_0 umount: /dev/sda1: umount: /dev/sda1: not found test_zero_0 FAILED 83/212 test_fsck_0 umount: /dev/sda1: umount: /dev/sda1: not found test_fsck_0 FAILED 84/212 test_fsck_1 umount: /dev/sda1: umount: /dev/sda1: not found test_fsck_1 FAILED Debian fails on 57 / 212 tests, but they all seem to be of the same type:

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 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 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.

Just a note that 'whenjobs'[1] is now automating libguestfs test and build, along the development branch. Simply tagging a new release in git will trigger a cycle of packaging, test, build, updating the website, and performing a new build in Fedora Rawhide. At the moment I'm only doing the tests on Fedora, but I will extend it later so it tests both individual commits and released
