similar to: [PATCH] fuse: Add guestmount-cleanup program to handle unmounting (RHBZ#916780).

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.

The full description of this bug is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=838592 and the effect it has on OpenStack is described here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=835466#c9 Rich.

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 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

Hi, small series with small improvements to the tests.

v1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-November/msg00271.html In v2 I just updated the way paths are handled. Note this series requires the following patch to common which adds the common/options/key-option.pod file: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-November/msg00269.html Rich.

The libguestfs part of this change. Also a virt-v2v part will be needed. The first patch adds a new feature to podwrapper so that we can use __INCLUDE:file__ directives within the POD itself (instead of using --insert, and one day replacing that). The second patch shows how this change could be used for the included parts of the guestfish man page, including the non-English pages under

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

Hi, the following series adds a --key option in the majority of tools: this makes it possible to pass LUKS credentials programmatically, avoid the need to manually input them, or unsafely pass them via stdin.

Fix for: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1293527 Note that patches 2/3 and 3/3 are dependent on each other, ie. applying 2/3 on its own will break the build. So I may combine these when applying the series. Rich.

This patch is incomplete but it illustrates the idea. virt-sysprep is rewritten as a modular tool in OCaml. Only the 'utmp' and 'hostname' operations are implemented at the moment. Rich.

We can use the setfiles(8) command to relabel the guest filesystem, even though we don't have a policy loaded nor SELinux enabled in the appliance kernel. This also deprecates or removes the old and broken SELinux support. This patch isn't quite complete - I would like to add some tests to the new API. I'm posting here to garner early feedback. Rich.

v1 -> v2: - Add simple test of the setfiles API. - Use SELinux_relabel module in virt-v2v (instead of touch /.autorelabel). - Small fixes. Rich.

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

We are migrating to Weblate (the Fedora instance, in particular) for translations instead of Zanata. Adapt our tooling a bit to the different workflow: - Weblate takes care of updating the po files whenever a new translation catalog is available, so stop doing that on our own: this meant also tweaking the po4a usage for POD documentations, resulting in simpler rules (IMHO) - ensure that the

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 is a more complete patch to add the test harness. The only parts missing now are the language bindings (except OCaml). The language bindings need a bit more thought. At the moment most language binding tests are done through some sort of shell script like perl/run-perl-tests which either runs each test itself or uses some language-specific machinary to run each test. The problem with that
