The device name prefix for IDE hard drives used to be `ad' but now is `ada' (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/disks-naming.html). For virtio hard drives it is `vtbd'. Under an mbr partition table a slice will be used, so the name of the first partitions will be either ada0s1a or vtbd0s1a. Under a GPT partition table, where no slice is needed, the name of the first partition will be

The device name is only used by guestfish (when using the -N option to prepare drives). We constructed the device name very naively, basically ‘sprintf ("/dev/sd%c", next_drive)’. This stores the device index instead, and only constructs the device name in guestfish. Also the device name is constructed properly using guestfs_int_drive_name so it can cope with #drives > 26. ---

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.

v9 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00139.html This depends on these three series (the first two being single minor patches): https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00207.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00209.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00215.html There is no substantive change.

This depends on the patch series "[PATCH 00/27] Reimplement many daemon APIs in OCaml." (https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00098.html) v8 was posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00274.html v9: - I split up the mega-patch into a more reviewable series of smaller, incremental patches. There are some other changes vs v8, but

This fixes almost everything. Note that it adds an extra commit which fixes the whole utf8/iconv business. It's probably better to list what isn't fixed: (1) I didn't leave the osinfo code around because I'm still haven't looked too closely at virt-builder-repository. Can't we just fetch this code from the git history when we need it? (2) I didn't change the way

v10: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00245.html No actual change here, but I rebased and retested. Also this series now does not depend on any other patch series since everything else needed is upstream. Rich.

Make a best effort try to map NetBSD disklabel partitions to Linux partitions. The mapping will be incorrect if there is a gap in the disklabel partitions sequence, e.g. 'b' (swap) partition is missing but 'e' partition is defined.

libguestfs has used double and triple underscores in identifiers. These aren't valid for global names in C++. (http://stackoverflow.com/a/228797) These large but completely mechanical patches change the illegal identifiers to legal ones. Rich.

Take into granted that partition 'c' has a special purpose. It has always the same size as the enclosing slice and is not mapped under Linux. This is a best effort try.
