Hi all, On the most libguestfs commands (guestfish, virt-*), I have always the same message: "febootstrap-supermin-helper: ext2: parent directory not found: /lib: File not found by ext2_lookup" I'm aware of a similar bug with the old package [1]: "Note on febootstrap (may not be directly related to this bug): You need 3.14 to work around that. I would recommend using at least

This error is with libguestfs 1.20.

Use basename of external helper instead of 'no' for external supermin helpers. This gives a clear error messages what binary is actually missing, and it is now possible to install the missing package without recompiling libguestfs. In addition its now also possible to use private builds of supermin (if they are in PATH) with a given libguestfs binary package. Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering

Hello, I have installed libguestfs on RHEL 5.5 64 bit. 3 packages i have installed. libguestfs-tools-c-1.9.10-1.1 libguestfs-tools-1.9.10-1.1 libguestfs-1.9.10-1.1 When i am trying to run virt-resize it gives me error: virt-resize -expand /dev/sda1 vm01.scilab vm01.scilab-15GB -d libguestfs: trace: add_drive_opts "vm01.scilab" "readonly:true" libguestfs: trace:

Hi, First, I'd like to thank you for your nice effort of the febootstrap tool. I understand there are 2 major versions of this tool the first has the syntax of "febootstrap fedora-12 ./f12" while the second has the syntax "febootstrap --names ....." Is it correct? I also understand the second one is used only to create a minimal system. is it correct too? But what about

The test for febootstrap-to-initramfs' --nocompress option was always failing for me on F11. Here's why: $ bash ~/w/co/libguestfs:210-comment-fix $ t=`febootstrap-to-initramfs 2>&1` [Exit 1] $ if ! echo $t|grep -sq -- --nocompress; then echo not found; fi not found Notice: without quotes, the [--nocompress] term expands to "k",

I'm confused! What use cases is the new febootstrap primarily intended for? I'm mainly trying to figure out if I'm trying to put a square peg into a round hole. What I'm looking into is using linux containers (LXC) either using libvirt or lxc-tools) to create jails for a web hosting type environment. I can see that in the long run btrfs has some nice features to help with this

Good evening, I just tried following the steps in "Tip: Creating throwaway appliances with febootstrap"[1] on my workstation at home running Debian/unstable.

Hi, I am trying to get libguestfs-test-tool working on ubuntu. The first problem I had was that HiveX won't compile on ubuntu to due to some missing symbols (rpl-getopt, I see this has already been reported). Second problem is that if HiveX is not available, guestfish doesn't link because code refers to symbols which aren't compiled into libguestfs (I was able to work around this by

Hi All, I am trying to run guestfish inside an Ubuntu instance running in VirtualBox. I'm running into problems, and my first question, is this setup even possible? I compiled and installed libguestfs-1.8.4. Running libguestfs-test-tool fails with the following output. Would appreciate any advice, Chris new guestfs handle 0x8b77958 ===== Test starts here ===== LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 library

Hi?Richard When I installed Libguestfs with source code?it required the version of febootstrap. But febootstrap had been installed beyond the version required. Could you give me some suggestion?

Hello, I am try to compile guestfsd using this link<http://thr3ads.net/libguestfs/2012/09/2100168-Re-compile-guestfsd>. I am using libguestfs-1.24.4.tar.gz After running ./configure with disable options i get a message claiming a febootstrap >=3.2. I already installed febootstrap-3.21-4.el6x86_64.rpm for centos6.5. In the rpm description i found a note telling that this rpm will

As part of the oVirt Node[1] project, I'm going to P.O.C. a version of the node using febootstrap 2.x instead of livecd-creator. The main reasons in doing this is for allowing a r/w root filesystem without some hacky overlayfs and just to see if it can be done. On IRC, rwmjones mentioned a few issues he ran into with febootstrap 2.x where some rpms had %post scripts which aren't really

After my wonderful experience with febootstrap and and gzipped kernel modules I just wanted to post a little information about it. febootstrap uses insmod, it seems because insmod is required for building the initrd, while modprobe can read in gzipped kernel modules, insmod cannot. This means that there are two solutions to the problem, one would be to make febootstrap copy all of the modules to
