similar to: [PATCH] daemon: Set O_CLOEXEC flag on the virtio-serial port.

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

Notes: (1) Tis doesn't completely remove legacy serial ports yet. I couldn't work out how to make the Linux kernel see the virtconsole, so that is still using a serial port. (2) The guest network is completely unavailable if you apply this patch. We will need to add this back, possibly as an optional feature. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat

Matt asked me this morning if we could generate guestfish scripts automatically from running programs like virt-v2v. Good idea. This patch however doesn't do this, but it lays the groundwork for it: In order for us to generate code for any functions which don't go through the daemon, we need to add an indirection to those calls via some generated code. This will allow us to add

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.

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

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.

From: "Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones at redhat.com> This commit allows you to run the daemon under valgrind. You have to enable it at configure time: ./configure --enable-valgrind-daemon This should *not* be done for production builds. When this feature is enabled, valgrind is added to the appliance and the daemon is run under valgrind. Log messages from valgrind are passed

Hello, I expanded a KVM image of 4gb to 10 gb ....

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
