similar to: [PATCH v3 0/5] Inspection code in C

Previously discussed here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-August/msg00002.html -- 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. Supports Linux and Windows. http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-df/

These three patches (two were previously posted) can do simple operating system inspection in C. Example of use: ><fs> add-ro rhel55.img ><fs> run ><fs> inspect-os /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 ><fs> inspect-get-type /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 linux ><fs> inspect-get-distro /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhel ><fs> inspect-get-arch

This depends on the patch series "[PATCH 00/27] Reimplement many daemon APIs in OCaml." (https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00098.html) v8 was posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00274.html v9: - I split up the mega-patch into a more reviewable series of smaller, incremental patches. There are some other changes vs v8, but

v9 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00139.html This depends on these three series (the first two being single minor patches): https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00207.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00209.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00215.html There is no substantive change. I

v10: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00245.html No actual change here, but I rebased and retested. Also this series now does not depend on any other patch series since everything else needed is upstream. Rich.

This fixes almost everything. Note that it adds an extra commit which fixes the whole utf8/iconv business. It's probably better to list what isn't fixed: (1) I didn't leave the osinfo code around because I'm still haven't looked too closely at virt-builder-repository. Can't we just fetch this code from the git history when we need it? (2) I didn't change the way

This is the (incomplete) patch which reimplements inspection APIs in the daemon. All ‘XXX’s in this patch indicate areas which are not yet implemented or need further work. Rich.

v6 was posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00103.html and this requires the utilities refactoring posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00169.html Inspection is now complete[*], although not very well tested. I'm intending to compare the output of many guests using old & new virt-inspector to see if I can find any

This patch series changes a small part of the library to use __attribute__((cleanup(...))) to automatically free memory when pointers go out of the current scope. In general terms this seems to be a small win although you do have to use it carefully. For functions where you can completely get rid of the "exit code paths", it can simplify things. For a good example, see the

Hi, this patch series improves the way /usr filesystems are handled: tag them appropriately, so later on we can find them and merge results they contain directly back for the root filesystem. The series includes also a new private debug API, and its usage to fix the resolution of /dev/mapper/.. devices found in fstab; without it, LVM /usr filesystems are not recognized as belonging to their

[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

libguestfs has used double and triple underscores in identifiers. These aren't valid for global names in C++. (http://stackoverflow.com/a/228797) These large but completely mechanical patches change the illegal identifiers to legal ones. Rich.

v7 was: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00169.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00184.html I believe this addresses all comments received so far. Also it now passes a test where I compared about 100 disk images processed with old and new virt-inspector binaries. The output is identical in all cases except one which is caused by a bug in blkid

Hi, this patch series improves the way /usr filesystems are handled: tag them appropriately, so later on we can find them and merge results they contain directly back for the root filesystem. Changes in v2: - removed patches #1 and #2, already pushed - drop patch #3, no more needed - replace patch #4 with a better suggestion from Rich - change if into assert in patch #5 Thanks, Pino Toscano

v5: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00065.html Since v5, this now implements inspection almost completely for Linux and Windows guests. Rich.

Partition number was being passed to guestfs___check_for_filesystem_on based on an index in list_partition. However, this ignores the possibility of multiple block devices. This change makes guestfs___check_for_filesystem_on examine the passed-in device directly to determine if it is a whole device, or what its partition number is. --- src/guestfs-internal.h | 2 +- src/inspect-fs.c | 45

From: Michael Scherer <misc at zarb.org> Without this, configure will always enable erlang, no matter what argument are passed. Now, we can disable it, even if configure still need the erlang compiler for some obscure reason. --- configure.ac | 10 ++++++---- 1 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index 337a3ed..e0bed2f 100644 ---

This series fixes inspection in the case that fstab contains references to md devices. I've made a few changes since the previous posting, which I've summarised below. [PATCH 1/8] build: Create an MD variant of the dummy Fedora image I've double checked that no timestamp is required in the Makefile. The script will not run a second time to build fedora-md2.img. [PATCH 2/8] build:

Hi, this adds an helper version struct, and uses it in the backends (for the libvirt and qemu versions) and inspection code. This also moves common code to that, so it is not repeated in many places. This should help with the small refactoring proposed with https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2016-May/msg00070.html Thanks, Pino Toscano (2): src: start unifying version handling
