similar to: [PATCH] Fix debug help error message

If something die()s, the error status can get lost in cleanup when various child processes exit and overwrite $?. Specifically, the RHEV target uses a child process for NFS access, and libguestfs launches a qemu child process. This change ensures that DESTROY and END blocks which perform operations on child processes explicitly preserve $?. --- lib/Sys/VirtV2V/Target/RHEV.pm | 10 ++++++++++

If the transfer iso was mounted during conversion, virt-v2v would always give the following error on shutdown: (in cleanup) umount: /tmp/transferb7icam: umount: /sysroot/tmp/transferb7icam: not found at /home/mbooth/src/virt-v2v/blib/lib/Sys/VirtV2V/GuestOS/RedHat.pm line 1171. This was because the GuestOS::RedHat cleanup was being called implicitly on exit, which is after umount_all

This patch series adds support for some simple operations on hive files, and I've now tested and verified that those operations work correctly.

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

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

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

Cleanup was not happening properly if a migration to RHEV was killed prematurely with a Ctrl-C. Firstly, the SIGINT and SIGQUIT handlers were not being registered early enough in virt-v2v.pl. Secondly, if Ctrl-C killed the guestfs qemu process first it would deliver a SIGPIPE to v2v, which caused an unclean shutdown without cleanup. Fixes RHBZ#596015 --- v2v/virt-v2v.pl | 17 ++++++++++++++---

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

daemon.c does just a chroot, without chdir. The result is that pwd does not work correctly (it causes fs/dcache.c:prepend_unreachable() to add the unreachable string). A workaround is to add "cd /" before each sh command. ><fs> mount /dev/sda2 / ><fs> sh "cd / ; chroot / ; /bin/pwd" / ><fs> sh "/bin/pwd" (unreachable)/ ><fs> sh
