similar to: [PATCH v2] fuse: Add guestunmount program to handle unmounting (RHBZ#916780)

* 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

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, small series with small improvements to the tests.

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

Exit with 3 as return value when fusermount fails, because the specified mount point is not considered mounted for the user. This is in line with what the guestunmount documentation says. Adapt the test-guestunmount-fd test to the updated return value. Thanks to: Maxim Perevedentsev. --- fuse/guestunmount.c | 2 +- fuse/test-guestunmount-fd.c | 8 ++++---- 2 files changed, 5

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

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

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

Hello, I'm attempting to create a Homebrew formula to get libguestfs to compile on Mac OS X. I've managed to achieve success with several monkey patches, but since Homebrew's policy is to contact maintainers about proper fixes in upstream, I would like to ask if there are any plans to fix these issues. I'm afraid I don't know C well enough to propose decent solutions myself.

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.

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 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

Since v2: - Add perl tests. - Reworked and fixed the tests for virt-builder. - Some further minor bug fixes.
