similar to: [PATCH] Don't test r5t2 in mdadm test

This adds the mdadm-create API for creating RAID devices, and includes various fixes for the other two patches. Rich.

This change renames the following 2 apis: * mdadm_create -> md_create * mdadm_detail -> md_detail This is more consistent with list_md_devices, and removes a reference to an implementation detail from the api. --- daemon/md.c | 24 ++++++++++++------------ generator/generator_actions.ml | 4 ++-- regressions/test-list-filesystems.sh | 2 +-

This change involves rewriting make-fedora-img.sh in perl. This allows the flexibility to write mdadm.conf containing whichever uuids where randomly generated when the md devices were created. --- .gitignore | 2 + images/Makefile.am | 18 +++- images/guest-aux/make-fedora-img.pl | 194 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

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.

Hi, The libguestfs homepage says that libguestfs and guestfish are available in EPEL, but I can't find any evidence of them there. I haven't made much use of EPEL so I might be missing something. Any suggestions? Thanks, Aron

This patch series implements user cancellation. What this means is that the "user" (or any library caller) can cancel certain long-running operations. Currently it is only possible to cancel upload and download operations (ie. anything in the generator which uses FileIn and FileOut). The mechanism in the protocol to implement cancellation already exists, and it is already used to

This patch fixes inspection when fstab contains devices md devices specified as /dev/mdN. The appliance creates these devices without reference to the guest's mdadm.conf so, for e.g. /dev/md0 in the guest will often be created as /dev/md127 in the appliance. With this patch, we match the uuids of detected md devices against uuids specified in mdadm.conf, and map them appropriately when we

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. However depending on

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

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'
