similar to: [PATCH 0/6] Various Java bindings fixes.

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.

These two patches implement the first (and hardest) part of the fix for CVE-2010-3851. This adds a way to specify the format when adding a drive, avoiding qemu's auto-detection. In order to avoid an explosion of different add_drive_* functions (we have 4 already), we have implemented a way to specify optional arguments to functions, so all we need is a single new 'add_drive_opts'

These patches are a distillation of the good patches from the previous large / for-discussion-only error handling patch. See: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2009-November/msg00298.html Rich. -- 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.

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

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.. --

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

The parameters to virt-tar are swapped so they always go in source -> destination

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

This is a fix for: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642930 These patches remove all use of the Perl inspection API (although leaving the code, since it is used by virt-v2v). The tools have been modified so they use the core inspection API. Virt inspector has been basically rewritten to remove excess cruft and to only use the core API (see the final commit for more details). Rich.

Return a list of Linux MD devices detected in the guest. This API complements list_devices, list_partitions, list_lvs and list_dm_devices. --- daemon/Makefile.am | 1 + daemon/daemon.h | 1 + daemon/guestfsd.c | 23 +++++++--- daemon/md.c | 75 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This patch series starts by tidying up the code for the virt-cat, virt-df, virt-edit, etc tools, moving them into a single directory and making the build system much simpler as a consequence. Then we add two new tools, virt-tar (a general purpose archive and upload tool) and virt-ls (for listing directories). No new functionality is enabled by these tools -- that is to say, you can do everything

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

This set of patches implements a test script for FUSE, and fixes some of the bugs that I found by doing that.

The Wikipedia pages about schedulers are quite informative. I don't know _why_ this makes a difference, but it does seem to make a small one. Even though for a single process (guestfsd) it would seem that the choice of scheduler should make no difference. BTW the default scheduler in the guest is 'cfq'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noop_scheduler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFQ
