similar to: [PATCH 0/8] Implement user cancellation

The current guestfs_find API call contains an undocumented limit: It needs to marshall the whole list of filenames into a single protocol message. Unfortunately just about any Linux guest breaks this limit if you try 'guestfs_find ("/")' so this isn't much use. These patches add a new API call (find0) which breaks this limit by using a FileOut parameter. It's slightly

This short patch series fixes various problems with the Java bindings, including enabling support for functions that return hash tables (returned as Map<String,String>). With this, the Java bindings are improved although still not perfect. The last remaining issue is to implement support for functions that take optional arguments.

The more I look at this patch, the less I like it. I would summarise why I think it's wrong here, but it's better if you look at the message I posted on the gnulib mailing list here first: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2009-11/msg00434.html Directly accessing errno on Windows is wrong: you won't see the true reasons for an error by doing that.

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.

This patch series adds support for outputing an ext2-based appliance from febootstrap-supermin-helper. The usage is very simple, you just add '-f ext2' flag and the name of the appliance file that you want to write to. The implementation uses libext2fs, which is a very low level way to create ext2 filesystems from scratch. We'd like to use libguestfs, but that's an obvious

NOT a problem, just a question about distro checking: the default value is REDHAT, then you check debian (or ubuntu) and then archlinux why are you using two if statements ? -- Evaggelos Balaskas - Unix System Engineer http://gr.linkedin.com/in/evaggelosbalaskas

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.

NOTE: This is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL and can eat babies ... Modify the guest libvirt XML to add the virtio-serial channel: <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/tmp/socket'/> <target type='virtio' name='org.libguestfs.channel.0'/> </channel> In the guest, compile guestfsd and run it like this: sudo

I've only done limited testing, but it does let you connect to an existing guestfsd running inside a guest, over virtio-serial. This is not ready to be applied. One thing I've not thought about is how well this fits in with plans to use this mechanism as an alternate way to launch the appliance via libvirt.

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
