similar to: [PATCH 0/4] Provide guestmount --pid-file and document possible race when unmounting FUSE filesystems.

* 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

Since the first patch: - The program is now called 'guestunmount'. - I tested the --fd option and it appears to work. - You can now control retries / quiet. - Revised man pages. - Includes tests. I'm just running through the automated tests now. Rich.

Hi all, It seems guestmount always fails to flush changes to the mounted qcow2 snapshot. To reproduce this problem: 1. take an external snapshot for a qcow2 2. guestmount the snapshot 3. do some changes, for example: `echo 123 > /test; cat /test`, right now /test can be seen created and containing the right content 4. fusermount -u {mount-point} 5. virt-cat changed file, for the example

This version doesn't crash or cause hung processes or stuck mountpoints, so that's an improvement. Rich.

This changes the proposed API slightly. Previously 'mount-local' generating a 'mounted' event when the filesystem was ready, and from the 'mounted' event you had to effectively do a fork. Now, 'mount-local' just initializes the mountpoint and you have to call 'mount-local-run' to enter the FUSE main loop. Between these calls you can do a fork or whatever

This implements most of RHBZ#1367738. I didn't bother with virt-v2v-copy-to-local and virt-win-reg, but all the other tools now have full bash completion. Rich.

This patch is just for review. It enables FUSE support in the API via two new calls, 'guestfs_mount_local' and 'guestfs_umount_local'. FUSE turns out to be very easy to deadlock (necessitating that the machine be rebooted). Running the test from the third patch is usually an effective way to demonstrate this. However I have not yet managed to produce a simple reproducer that

I need a way to kill the ferret_server drb process programatically, so I can start/stop it as part of the capistrano deployment process. This should be as simple as adding some sort of stop method to ActsAsFerret::Remote::Server. I was just messing around and was able to do it by modifying method_missing to look for the :stop method and then calling DRb.thread.exit -- this is not good enough for

This program allows you to turn a network block device source into a FUSE filesystem containing a virtual file: $ nbdkit memory 128M $ mkdir mp $ nbdfuse mp/ramdisk nbd://localhost & $ ls -l mp total 0 -rw-rw-rw-. 1 rjones rjones 134217728 Oct 12 15:09 ramdisk $ dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1M count=128 of=mp/ramdisk conv=notrunc,nocreat 128+0 records in 128+0 records out

Hi, this series update libguestfs to a recent gnulib version, so that we can use its new getprogname module, and solve altogether one of the porting issues (the need for 'program_name' by the error module of gnulib), and have a single way to get the name of the current program. A number of changes in tools mostly, although mechanical. Thanks, Pino Toscano (3): Update gnulib to latest

Hello everyone! I'm playing with guestunmount and got the following issues: 1) guestunmount never returns 3 (not mounted) - i guess it's a bug at guestunmount.c:223 2) I don't know whether it's a bug in guestunmount or fusermount, but on my machine while executing > guestmount > guestunmount > guestunmount on second "guestunmount" I get

Hi ! I''m using Mongrel 1.0.1 with --pid and --user/--group. The PID files are correctly owned by the user/group, but their permissions is 0666. Is that normal ? Shouldn''t it be something like 0664 ? Just curious to know if I''m wrong. Configurator has this (line 77): # Writes the PID file but only if we''re on windows. def write_pid_file if
