daemon.c does just a chroot, without chdir. The result is that pwd does not work correctly (it causes fs/dcache.c:prepend_unreachable() to add the unreachable string). A workaround is to add "cd /" before each sh command. ><fs> mount /dev/sda2 / ><fs> sh "cd / ; chroot / ; /bin/pwd" / ><fs> sh "/bin/pwd" (unreachable)/ ><fs> sh

Sometimes guestfsd fails to gather info, and the virt-<tool> -v output is usually not useful to figure out whats going on within the temporary guest. I see the /init script has support to run guestfsd with a debug tool, which is currently valgrind. Granted, valgrind support is a compile time thing. What would be a good way to optionally run guestfsd with strace or gdb? Should each tool get a

I think calling "sh" before "mount" should not confuse guestfish like that: # guestfish (1.20.4 on sles11sp3) Welcome to guestfish, the libguestfs filesystem interactive shell for editing virtual machine filesystems.

configure uses clock_gettime to check whether -lrt is needed - and don''t check other functions. With glibc 2.17 clock_gettime is part of libc, so use timer_gettime instead, which is in -lrt in old and new versions of glibc.
