similar to: Fix virt-edit so it preserves permissions (RHBZ#788641)

This is a further, more comprehensive fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=788641 The guestfish 'edit' command (aka 'emacs', 'vi') suffered from the same problems as virt-edit and more. It could have failed and left a partially overwritten file, and it didn't preserve permissions etc from the original file. These three patches fix all this. The first

Hi, attached there is a prototype of patch for adding a new copy-attributes command. Such command would allow copy the attributes of a "file" to another, so for example in guestfish: copy-attributes foo bar permissions:true xattributes:false would only copy the permissions of foo to bar, not copying its extended attributes too. Just few notes: - my first daemon command, so

Make use of the new copy-attributes command to properly copy all file attributes from a file to the new version of it. --- builder/perl_edit.ml | 29 +--------------------------- edit/edit.c | 49 ++--------------------------------------------- fish/edit.c | 54 ++-------------------------------------------------- 3 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 127 deletions(-) diff --git

This patch set fixes a two year old bug in guestfish, namely that the 'glob' command does not expand /dev/* patterns. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=635971 Rich.

These two patches make appliance building thread-safe. The first adds a test which easily demonstrates the problem. The second fixes the issue. For more information see Ian McLeod's analysis of the bug here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=790528#c5 Rich.

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.

Rather than me explaining over again what it does, I've included the man page below.

Resolve in the guest the given path, so absolute symlinks can be listed using appliance tools without resolution errors. Also remove the note about the possibility to escape the sysroot using ll and llz, since realpath won't return paths outside sysroot.

Add commands to automatically prep devices for pass-through The current method for passing through devices requires users to either modify cryptic Linux boot parameters and reboot, or do a lot of manual reads and writes into sysfs nodes. This set of patches introduces commands to make this easier. It expands on the concept of "assignable" (from the list_assignable_devices command).

Hello everyone, I have a question about logging. I need to find out whether it is possible to see user id/session id inside logs or somewhere else. It is not passed in structured across the network, so where should I look to find out, which user (which session) is currently performing the actions?

Hi, When I register a callback for events with this function call: eh = guestfs_set_event_callback(g, message_callback, GUESTFS_EVENT_ALL, 0, dev); Shouldnt it capture and redirect messages like this to message_callback(): "libguestfs: error: lstat: /.Trash: No such file or directory" I still get them in stderr .. Thanks, Or

Hi, this series does a couple of code reorganizations/refactoring in code used by tools: the windows path handling code, and the two types of file editing (using editor, and using perl expression). There's still a code duplication between the two variants of file editing, but it is just within a single source, and can be easily solved now (planning as next step). Pino Toscano (13): edit:

This patch isn't ready to go upstream. In fact, I think we might do a quick 1.30 release soon, and save this patch, and also the extensive changes proposed for the test suite[1], to after 1.30. Currently it is not safe to use the same handle from multiple threads, unless you implement your own mutexes. See: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#multiple-handles-and-multiple-threads These

I also ran all the tests, which pass. As with the previous versions, this makes a change to the API, where you
