similar to: febootstrap: what am I doing wrong?

Hi Rich, I got an error: > supermin helper [00000ms] visiting /usr/local/lib/guestfs/supermin.d > supermin helper [00000ms] visiting /usr/local/lib/guestfs/supermin.d/base.img > supermin helper [00000ms] visiting /usr/local/lib/guestfs/supermin.d/daemon.img > supermin helper [00000ms] visiting /usr/local/lib/guestfs/supermin.d/hostfiles > supermin helper [00012ms] visiting

Hi all, On the most libguestfs commands (guestfish, virt-*), I have always the same message: "febootstrap-supermin-helper: ext2: parent directory not found: /lib: File not found by ext2_lookup" I'm aware of a similar bug with the old package [1]: "Note on febootstrap (may not be directly related to this bug): You need 3.14 to work around that. I would recommend using at least

Because of the confusion generated by calling something 'febootstrap' which didn't have anything to do with Fedora and didn't generate bootstrap filesystems, I have renamed 'febootstrap' as 'supermin'. I also bumped the version number up to 4.1.0. New home page: http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/supermin/ Downloads: http://libguestfs.org/download/supermin/ Git

Bash automatically resets euid to uid when it executes. This can mean that the effective user id of a program at the point it calls febootstrap-supermin-helper can be lost if any part of execution chain involved bash. This in turn can result in: * the generation of an incorrect checksum, which contains the uid. * the generation of supermin files with differing owners The -u and -g options allow

Hi Rich, I ran coverity against febootstrap's head and it spotted four leaks. This fixes them. The first patch plugs three. The second attempts to make the add_link function do what I'm guessing it was intended to do. As is, it was a no-op. >From 7c2ff55613598a1295e213cef36600ad61da7ed6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering <meyering at redhat.com> Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2012

Hi! I'm trying to convert some Xen guests running Centos 5.8 to KVM on Centos 6.3. Hopefully this is the right place to ask this question, if not, let me know and I'll go there instead! :) My setup: Centos 5.8 Host running Xen with a Centos 5.8 guest, and I want to transfer this guest to a different Centos 6.3 host running KVM. I am able to tweak the target server all I want, but the

This patch is FYI as it needs more testing, although feel free to take a look at it if you want. Background: We'd like to change libguestfs so that the appliance can support optional features. This would mean you could have (for example) a 'libguestfs' base package and a 'libguestfs-xfs' package providing optional support for XFS filesystem tools. This would only apply to

Hi, I am trying to get libguestfs-test-tool working on ubuntu. The first problem I had was that HiveX won't compile on ubuntu to due to some missing symbols (rpl-getopt, I see this has already been reported). Second problem is that if HiveX is not available, guestfish doesn't link because code refers to symbols which aren't compiled into libguestfs (I was able to work around this by

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, First, I'd like to thank you for your nice effort of the febootstrap tool. I understand there are 2 major versions of this tool the first has the syntax of "febootstrap fedora-12 ./f12" while the second has the syntax "febootstrap --names ....." Is it correct? I also understand the second one is used only to create a minimal system. is it correct too? But what about

objcopy needs "output-target" and "binary-architecture" parameters which makes it necessary to keep a list of known architectures. The bin2s.pl script generates input for the GNU assembler which should produce an object file that is equivalent to that produced by objcopy.

I'm confused! What use cases is the new febootstrap primarily intended for? I'm mainly trying to figure out if I'm trying to put a square peg into a round hole. What I'm looking into is using linux containers (LXC) either using libvirt or lxc-tools) to create jails for a web hosting type environment. I can see that in the long run btrfs has some nice features to help with this

It looks to me that the windows 2008 image I am attempting to convert is not being detected as windows but is being updated as a Linux system. When PXE booted the server with the p2v image I ended up with this error: Failed to launch guestfs appliance. Try running again with LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 for more information The system image transferred and I was able to create an XML file to boot it under

For me it has so far taken a lot longer. The problem is that the number of dependent packages is probably 100s. If you want something

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.
