similar to: [PATCH 1/2] examples: code cleanups

This is the same as the previous patch, but the partition type is now chosen automatically from mbr or gpt, unless the user expresses a preference. https://gb.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2012-January/msg00136.html Rich.

From: "Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones at redhat.com> If the parent process uses a pipe (or any fd, but pipes are a particular problem), then the recovery process would hold open the file descriptor(s) of the pipe, meaning that it could not be fully closed in the parent. Because the recovery process doesn't use exec(2), this wasn't avoidable even using FD_CLOEXEC. Avoid this

I believe this patch has now been superseded by Hilko's commit here: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/f75142c577255b30f2a8e1d27baa5fd185594197 Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com Fedora now supports 80 OCaml packages (the OPEN alternative to F#)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=836710 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=836913 There are at least two related bugs going on: (1) Linux sync(2) system call doesn't send a write barrier to the disk, so in effect it doesn't force the hard disk to flush its cache. libguestfs used sync(2) to force changes to disk. We didn't expect that qemu was caching anything

Hi, this series cleans up the Python sources, either static or generated, including also tests, to make them PEP 8 compliant; see https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ and tools like pep8. Almost all the issues reported by pep8 are fixed, reducing the issues from 3818 to 7. The changes should have no effect on the actual code, while it will help Python users with consistency with other

I tried using Javascript (gjs) with GObject-Introspection and did a port of the create_disk example which is attached below. Quite a bit of time was spent looking up stuff in the GLib reference and guessing how certain idioms translate to gjs. I used the traditional add_drive_opts method since I haven't been able to find how to specify the optional arguments to add_drive_opts. How does that

This rather complex set of patches allow non-optargs functions to gain optional arguments, while preserving source and binary backwards compatibility. The problem is that we cannot add an optional argument to an existing function. For example, we might want to add flags to the 'lvresize' API which currently has no optional arguments.

Instead of hardcoding the location of perl (assuming it is installed in /usr), use /usr/bin/env to run it, and thus picking it from $PATH. This makes it possible to run these scripts also on installations with perl in a different prefix than /usr. Also, given that we want enable warnings on scripts, turn the -w previously in shebang to explicit "use warnings;" in scripts which

A lot of code runs 'qemu-img create' or 'truncate' to create blank disk images. In the past I resisted adding an API to do this, since it essentially duplicates what you can already do using other tools (ie. qemu-img). However this does simplify calling code quite a lot since qemu-img is somewhat error-prone to use (eg: don't try to create a disk called "foo:bar")
