Hello everyone! I have to implement the functionality of mounting all VM disks/partitions. E.g. if a VM has 2 disks of 2 partitions each (I get it from virt-filesystems), I want to get the following structure on host node after mount: mnt/ ------hdd0/ -------------volume1/ -------------volume2/ ------hdd1/ -------------volume1/ -------------volume2/ I'd like to use guestmount due to

Hope someone can point me in the right direction. I don't know if what I am trying to do should work or not. I have 2 disk images. One is a VM with an ext2 boot filesystem and ext4 filesystems with the OS loaded. I am amble to guestmount this with no issue and am able to see the files that are on the ext2 file system. I can also run guestfish on the image, mount the ext2 filesystem, and

Hello all, I am having an issue with guestmount in respect to live instances and I was hoping someone might have an idea where I've gone wrong. The following output is from my shell session, if there's any more information needed please let me know and I'll happily provide it. [root at longitude ~]# virt-filesystems -d F16-rawhide/dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 [root at longitude ~]#

Hi, Apparently, guestmount -o allow_other -a "/path/to/raw_file" -m /dev/sda1 "/path/to/mountfolder" is much slower than kpartx -av "/path/to/raw_file" mount /dev/mapper/loop0p1 /path/to/mountfolder (Doing lots of read/write inside the image.) I thought guestmount "only" scripts the above. Seems I was wrong on that. I am currently using

I downloaded the libguestfs-1.17.21.tar.gz? tarball from www.libguestfs.org I tried to compile the package but I got this error in "make" step: virt_df-domains.o: In function `add_domain': /home/feeliwood/Downloads/libguestfs-1.17.21/df/domains.c:274: undefined reference to `guestfs___for_each_disk' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [virt-df] Error 1 make[2]:

Cédric pointed out this problem we have: $ guestmount -a /var/lib/libvirt/images/sles12sp1-pv.img -m '/dev/sda1:/:subvol=.snapshots/2/snapshot:btrfs' /mnt libguestfs: error: mount_vfs: /dev/sda1 on / (options: 'subvol=.snapshots/2/snapshot'): mount: mount(2) failed: No such file or directory guestmount: '/dev/sda1' could not be mounted. guestmount: Check mount(8) man page

Not sure if this possible, but I have a KVM guest running Solaris 10 with the OS on ZFS and I am trying to use libguestfs/guestfish/guestmount to get to the VM. I am running Red Hat EL 5.4 with EPEL rpms as required. The VM is on a LV and it boots fine, but I can't seem to get the syntax correct to get libguestfs to deal with it. Guestmount seemed like the best option because it supports FUSE

This patch is meant for discussion of the issues involved. I'd like to change the default for guestfish -a / -m command line options to open read-only. This creates less opportunity to corrupt disk images by opening them for write while another VM might be using them. With this patch you can specify: guestfish --rw ... which in itself does nothing since the default is currently

We are pleased to announce the next stable release of libguestfs, tools and a library for accessing, creating and modifying the contents of virtual machines and disk images.

* PATCH FOR DISCUSSION ONLY - NOT TO BE APPLIED * Colin suggested something which seems eminently sensible: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=916780 I've been through a couple of rounds of trying to implement this. I started with adding the option as suggested to the guestmount program, but it tended to make the guestmount program more complex. More importantly, adding the option

Currently guestfish has mount-vfs, and the libguestfs API has guestfs_mount_vfs(), but guestmount doesn't allow the user to specify a filesystem. This patch extends the --mount argument, so you can force an ext2 partition to mount as ext4: guestmount -a mydisk.img -m /dev/vda:/:defaults:ext4 mountpoint You could also use it to choose between ntfs and ntfs-3g, or between hfsplus and the
