similar to: Archlinux port of libguestfs

I have febootstrap ported to and working on Arch, but there are a few packages missing from the main Arch repos, and the packages need to be in the main repos for the febootstrap sequence to work. So I have a few quick questions, first, how well does the supermin app work, without augeas, are zfs, gfs and hfs used only for mounting those filesystems inside the vm image, and I noticed that there is

After my wonderful experience with febootstrap and and gzipped kernel modules I just wanted to post a little information about it. febootstrap uses insmod, it seems because insmod is required for building the initrd, while modprobe can read in gzipped kernel modules, insmod cannot. This means that there are two solutions to the problem, one would be to make febootstrap copy all of the modules to

Unfortunately, placing the link into the /boot does not work. libguestfs-test-tool failes with the same message: ************************************************************ * IMPORTANT NOTICE * * When reporting bugs, include the COMPLETE, UNEDITED * output below in your bug report. *

Hey,

As part of the oVirt Node[1] project, I'm going to P.O.C. a version of the node using febootstrap 2.x instead of livecd-creator. The main reasons in doing this is for allowing a r/w root filesystem without some hacky overlayfs and just to see if it can be done. On IRC, rwmjones mentioned a few issues he ran into with febootstrap 2.x where some rpms had %post scripts which aren't really

I spent the last couple of days rethinking how we go about building the appliance, and the difficulties we have porting that to other Linux distros. I've come up with a much better way that works better and faster on (so far) Fedora and Debian (probably on Ubuntu too, not tried it), and should be much simpler to port to other distros. The current way is to do: +------------------+

Hello- I've recently upgraded from OEL 6.4 to OEL 6.8. Infiniband Hardware installed on the server prevents me from upgrading the OS version any higher. Kernel Version: Oracle Linux Server Red Hat Compatible Kernel (2.6.32-642.el6.x86_64) Since the upgrade, there have been problems with libguestfs-tools hanging, then timing out. I'd like to use the newest version of

Hi All, I am trying to run guestfish inside an Ubuntu instance running in VirtualBox. I'm running into problems, and my first question, is this setup even possible? I compiled and installed libguestfs-1.8.4. Running libguestfs-test-tool fails with the following output. Would appreciate any advice, Chris new guestfs handle 0x8b77958 ===== Test starts here ===== LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 library

Rich, this wasn't operational. First of all, the image on my version of RHEV-H is kept in other directory. So I did that: 1. $ export FEBOOTSTRAP_KERNEL=/dev/.initramfs/live/vmlinuz0 2. $ echo $FEBOOTSTRAP_KERNEL /dev/.initramfs/live/vmlinuz0 3. $ libguestfs-test-tool ************************************************************ *

Thanks to all.

This is a repost of a previously posted set. It's been updated following review comments. [PATCH 1/4] Add a core_pattern debug command Added missing return statements. [PATCH 2/4] Call sync after guestfsd exits Remove redundant sleep 1; sync [PATCH 3/4] Shut down the appliance cleanly [PATCH 4/4] Ignore launch() error in virt-rescue These were previously 2 patches. They are otherwise

This error is with libguestfs 1.20.

[PATCH 1/3] Add a core_pattern debug command The first patch is just a rework of Rich's earlier core dump patch. It turns it into a debug subcommand so it can be called at any time. This also has the advantage of explicitly labelling an extremely untidy API as debug. [PATCH 2/3] Call sync after guestfsd exits The second patch seems to be required for cores to be dumped reliably. I was able to

Use basename of external helper instead of 'no' for external supermin helpers. This gives a clear error messages what binary is actually missing, and it is now possible to install the missing package without recompiling libguestfs. In addition its now also possible to use private builds of supermin (if they are in PATH) with a given libguestfs binary package. Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering

Hi, i am trying to use libguestfs (libvirt/kvm etc) into archlinux. But it seems that i am keep getting this error warning: Unable to get device geometry for /var/tmp/guestfs.NwkQVJ/root In the attached file, i've written some debug info.
