similar to: [PATCH] Use virtio-serial, remove other vmchannel methods.

This patch series adds support for some simple operations on hive files, and I've now tested and verified that those operations work correctly. All except for the last patch (12/12) are ready to be committed. The last patch is WIP.

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

Couple of notes: (1) You may need to 'make clean' after applying this patch. There is some missing dep so it seems the appliance isn't fully rebuilt. (2) [Comment mainly directed to Matt] This is not a candidate to be automatically added to the stable 1.2 branch. It's far too large of a change for a stable release. Since this change may be required for V2V, please clone

One of the things we would really like to be able to do for V2V is to install a new driver in a Windows guest. There are a couple of reasons for this: * The guest may not be bootable without the driver installed, for example because the underlying virtual hardware has changed from vmscsi to virtio. * If the guest can boot, the alternative is to modify the guest to run a script on next boot.

You can see that currently we leak the virtio-serial file descriptor into child processes. ><fs> debug fds '' 0 /dev/console 1 /dev/console 2 /dev/console 3 /dev/vport0p1 4 /proc/252/fd ><fs> debug sh 'ls -l /proc/self/fd' total 0 lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 27 15:14 0 -> /dev/null l-wx------ 1 root root 64 Aug 27 15:14 1 -> pipe:[5124] l-wx------ 1

I've attached a patch to generator.ml for the proposed new file apis. Note that hread, hpread, hwrite and hpwrite are slightly different to the apis I proposed previously. I've also added hallocate for good measure.

I have continued on with my attempts to get p2v working will little success. I have changed my server to Fedora 16 and finally got an XP with a single SATA disk (sda) to work. I think that this means that the current virt-p2v.iso just doesn't work with the packages that are available on Centos 6 at the moment. However, the machines that I currently need to actually migrate all have

Hello, I expanded a KVM image of 4gb to 10 gb .... My Host machine is RHEL 6.1 and Guest is RHEL 5.5 Command i used is: virt-resize --expand /dev/sda1 RHEL5.5-64bit.img RHEL5.5-10gb Commands successfully gets executed... Old disk works fine i mean it boots properly but the new disk stucks at GRUB... Has any one seen this behavior... What should i do to debug this problem.. --

md_create: mdadm: boot: mdadm: boot is not a block device. at /home/rjones/d/libguestfs/images/guest-aux/make-fedora-img.pl line 95. Looking into this, it appears the old version of mdadm shipped in Ubuntu (mdadm 2.6.7) doesn't support the notion of giving arbitrary names to devices. Thus you have to do: mdadm --create /dev/md0 [devices] We do: mdadm --create boot [devices] which it

This patch adds a new function, guestfs_file_arch, which is like guestfs_file but specifically intended to determine the architecture of binaries and libraries. Usage is: guestfs_file_arch (g, "/bin/ls") ==> "x86_64" (or whatever) What it can do: - ELF binaries - ELF shared libraries - Windows Win32 and Win64 binaries - Windows Win32 and Win64 DLLs - Linux

A new version of this patch, previously posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2009-August/thread.html#00031 I've made some of the changes that Jim suggested, but I didn't fix the error handling of readdir because that loop always reads from a tmpfs. It didn't seem like there would realistically be any read errors(?) These commands are compromised in their

Hi, I am using guestfish, and found subcommand "launch" took about 20 seconds to finish for a 4GB disk image. Is there any way to improve the performance? Thanks! Regards, Qian

This is a pretty uncontroversial patch which just allows the selinux=? and enforcing=? flags on the kernel command line to be controlled. Currently libguestfs unconditionally passes selinux=0. By default this patch does the same thing, but allows programs to enable SELinux in the kernel and/or set it to enforcing mode. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat

I think this patch is also uncontroversial. If selinux=1 then we mount /selinux in the appliance. We also bind-mount it into guests when running commands, just like we do for /proc, /dev etc. If SELinux is disabled, then /selinux doesn't get mounted.
