This is just an initial version of the patch, not to be applied. It implements just the diskgroup functions, ie. corresponding to these ldmtool commands: * ldmtool scan * ldmtool show diskgroup <guid> I have chosen yajl as the JSON parsing library (don't worry, this is optional). You will also, of course, need ldmtool which is not packaged in anything except Fedora. Rich.

I'm pleased to announce libguestfs 1.26, a library and set of tools for accessing and modifying virtual machine disk images. This release took more than 6 months of work by a considerable number of people, and has many new features (see release notes below). You can get libguestfs 1.26 here: Main website: http://libguestfs.org/ Source:

We only set smp number at config time, other than it has no effect. Also limit the number value below 255, since qemu can't support that.

I'm just about to release libguestfs 1.20. I want to cover some things that are different or won't work as well in Debian Wheezy. ** Most important ** Debian Wheezy ships with febootstrap 3.17. This is too old to run libguestfs 1.20 out of the box (febootstrap >= 3.20 required). However if you apply the attached patch to libguestfs, then it will work with the older febootstrap.

When the LDM code was converted to the CLEANUP_* macros, a free() invocation for a CLEANUP_FREE variable was left in the ldmtool_diskgroup_volumes implementation, causing double-free on success.

the 'hivex' had been installed actually, hivex.x86_64 0:1.2.4-3.el6 and perl-hivex.x86_64 0:1.2.4-3.el6, however it just could not be detected.Maybe i should compile one rather than just yum. I`m not familiar with hivex,as far as i know, it can be used to modify windows registry, but why the inspection API had been binded with hivex when we might use inspection api solely with linux os
