I'm trying to use guestmount to install some kernel modules in a guest: [mbooth at mbooth linux-2.6 (amit)]$ make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=~/etch ln: creating symbolic link `/home/mbooth/etch/lib/modules/2.6.32-rc6/source': No such file or directory make: *** [_modinst_] Error 1 I think something's screwy with symlinks. In the following, /tmp/source is a symlink, and I

Not sure if this possible, but I have a KVM guest running Solaris 10 with the OS on ZFS and I am trying to use libguestfs/guestfish/guestmount to get to the VM. I am running Red Hat EL 5.4 with EPEL rpms as required. The VM is on a LV and it boots fine, but I can't seem to get the syntax correct to get libguestfs to deal with it. Guestmount seemed like the best option because it supports FUSE

Hi, I'm experiencing a weird behavior when tried to use guestmount with a XFS formatted volume. I have created a RHEL 8 virtual machine using libvirt. I have retrieved the disk image on a RHEL 7.7 server to mount the image root filesystem and explore it. The command returns an error message: # guestmount -a /disks/jamesdream.qcow2 -m /dev/sda1 /mnt/ libguestfs: error: mount_options: mount

Hello, I've got a strange behavior with guestmount: I've a root directory with mod/owner = drwx------ root root. I cannot change directory to it as a regular user (as normal), but I can list its content (not normally normal) and I can change directory to a subdirectory in it which is mod drwxr-xr-x. E.g: $ mkdir /tmp/mnt $ guestmount --ro -i -a test.qcow2 /tmp/mnt/ $ cd /tmp/mnt $ ls -ld

Hi, Apparently, guestmount -o allow_other -a "/path/to/raw_file" -m /dev/sda1 "/path/to/mountfolder" is much slower than kpartx -av "/path/to/raw_file" mount /dev/mapper/loop0p1 /path/to/mountfolder (Doing lots of read/write inside the image.) I thought guestmount "only" scripts the above. Seems I was wrong on that. I am currently using

Hi. I have a VM with CentOs6.2 on KVM. I mount an image of the VM when it's not working with guestmount: root at diehard:~# guestmount -a named-centos.img -i tmp vi /etc/shadow insert comment line into the file (esc yy p 0 i # esc :wq!), save changes, unmount the image, turn on the VM, and I cannot login. I cannot login even if I recover the shadow file. root at diehard:~# guestmount

Hello everybody, I been trying to debug a problem for a month now and can use some insights and advice. This is the setup, I got two linux ha storage node providing iscsi disk, the disks is mounted on two linux kvm host and one backup server. The iscsi disk has lvm on it, the logical volume groups are visible on all servers. On the backup server I have the following running: # guestmount

Hello all, I am having an issue with guestmount in respect to live instances and I was hoping someone might have an idea where I've gone wrong. The following output is from my shell session, if there's any more information needed please let me know and I'll happily provide it. [root at longitude ~]# virt-filesystems -d F16-rawhide/dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 [root at longitude ~]#

Hi all, It seems guestmount always fails to flush changes to the mounted qcow2 snapshot. To reproduce this problem: 1. take an external snapshot for a qcow2 2. guestmount the snapshot 3. do some changes, for example: `echo 123 > /test; cat /test`, right now /test can be seen created and containing the right content 4. fusermount -u {mount-point} 5. virt-cat changed file, for the example

Hello everybody, I am using libguestfs-tools version 1.28.1 in a bunch of bash scripts to make back-ups of the files on a visualisation platform. I been trying to get read access to ntfs volumes with data deduplication working. The ntfs-3g guys developed some support and I have this working when using the commands our back-up servers. However when using the guestmount tool the read suport

Is there any articles that explain in detail how actually guestmount works internally? My main question is how does guestfs deal with backing disk changes. So, I have a libvirt/qemu-kvm setup. Each vm has a lvm2 volume for a disk. For example, I want to mount one of these volumes and read some data. 1. I mount the volume using guestmount (guestmount --ro -d <libvirt domain> -m /dev/sda1

Second round of patches. These work so far that you can get directory listings and stuff like that ...

Supports shell scripting, bindings from many languages. http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs/ See what it can do:

* PATCH FOR DISCUSSION ONLY - NOT TO BE APPLIED * Colin suggested something which seems eminently sensible: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=916780 I've been through a couple of rounds of trying to implement this. I started with adding the option as suggested to the guestmount program, but it tended to make the guestmount program more complex. More importantly, adding the option

Hello, Using older libguestfs 1.34.6-2 (from Ubuntu's standard package), I encountered this: libguestfs fails with an error, but the error code is "success": $ sudo guestmount -m /dev/sda1 --ro \ -o allow_others \ -a data.qcow2 \ /media/foo fuse: unknown option `allow_others' libguestfs: error: fuse_new:

I tried to run chcon to set SELinux labels on a guestmounted dir and got: chcon: failed to change context of `authorized_keys' to `system_u:object_r:ssh_home_t:s0': Operation not supported I'm guessing that you need to pass 'seclabel' or 'user_xattr' or some such mount option to guestmount to support this. I notice you can pass such options through the -m option to

[A question about whether it is possible to use guestmount on a guest which does not have /etc/fstab. I've no reproduced this because I'm CC-ing my reply to a public mailing list] It's definitely possible. I would suggest first using $ virt-filesystems -a disk.img --all --long -h to get an idea of what's inside your disk image, then you use a command such as: $ guestmount
