similar to: [PATCH] virt-resize: Document qcow2 output format (RHBZ#642826).

Unfinished patch to implement virt-resize. The concept is solid. It just needs a little more thought as to exactly how containers [of containers] expand and shrink in response to user requests.

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.

RHEL 5's old parted didn't have the -m option. A number of commands relied on this option and thus would break on RHEL 5: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=598309 This rather large patch adds a second parsing path which allows us to parse the old text-based output (it preserves the code for parsing the output of the -m option too, since if supported, that is more accurate).

Not quite sure what happened to the waitpid()s which were along that path, but at some point they seem to have got deleted. This is a fix for: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=518747 I haven't been able to run the tests yet however, because currently Rawhide is broken (ntfsprogs has missing dependencies).

This is related to this message I posted yesterday: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-January/msg00016.html fakechroot doesn't sufficiently contain dracut, which is what was very indirectly causing that problem. However we don't need to run /sbin/new-kernel-package (in the kernel %post script). It takes a long time because dracut is so slow, and it builds an initrd that we

We've split off virt-v2v components into a separate repository: http://gitorious.org/virt-v2v/ (Previously they were part of the libguestfs repository). So virt-v2v stuff will disappear from the libguestfs repository shortly. You can get it from the link above instead.
