similar to: [PATCH 0/4] Small refactorings of the protocol layer.

I've been taking a long hard look at the protocol layer. It has evolved over a long time without any particular direction, and the result is, to say the least, not very organized. These patches take a first step at cleaning up the mess by abstracting out socket operations from the rest of the code. The purpose of this is to allow us to slot in a different connection layer under the

Hi, I attached the changes I made to a vanilla libguestfs-1.22.6 in order to make it work in mingw/win32. Added is also the patch required to make QEMU compatible (add a command to QMP that lists the supported devices (the regilat way you do it print it to stderr, which is difficult to redirect in win32)). This is done on behalf of Intel Corp. Thanks, Or (oberon in irc)

select() has a maximum value for the FDs it can monitor, and since the libguestfs library can be used in other applications, this limit may be hit by users in case lots of FDs are opened. As solution, switch to poll(): it has a slightly better interface to check what changed and for which FD, and it does not have a limit in the value of the FDs monitored. poll() is supported on the platforms we

v1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2013-August/msg00005.html This now works, to some extent. The main problem now is that devices are named /dev/ubd[a-] which of course confuses everything. I'm thinking it may be easier to add a udev rule to rename them. Rich.

This is a User-Mode Linux backend for libguestfs. You can select it by doing: export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=uml export LIBGUESTFS_QEMU=/path/to/vmlinux Note we're reusing the 'qemu' variable in the handle for convenience. QEmu is not involved when using the UML backend. This almost works. UML itself crashes when the daemon tries to connect to the serial port. I suspect it's

Inspired by libvirt's virCommand* internal mini-library, this adds some internal APIs for running commands. The first patch contains the new APIs. The subsequent patches change various parts of the library over to use it. Rich.

This is an updated and extended version of the original patch: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-August/msg00163.html This adds OCaml and Perl bindings (both tested), support for progress bars in virt-resize, and adds progress notifications to a number of the simpler commands. Still to do is to add progress messages to more commands. There are still a few commands which would be

This is a more working version. Inspection (partially) succeeds on a real guest this time :-) You can test it out on a real guest (in this case, a CentOS disk image located at /tmp/centos-6.img) by doing: $ ./run guestfish -v -x -a /tmp/centos-6.img ><fs> run ><fs> debug sh "guestfs-inspection --verbose" which will print lots of debugging, and at the end the

The original implementation utilies select(). In Linux select() typically supports up to 1024 file descriptors. This can be a problem when user tries to boot up many guests. Switching to poll() has minimum impact on existing code and has better scalibility. Up to 8192 file descriptors are supported in the current implementation.

Using OpenSSH_8.3p1 I had an open (working) connection to some other box; after a bit of inactivity, some device in the middle seems to have forgotten about the TCP connection (NAT) and broke it. I've got an EscapeChar defined, though; so first I tried to send a BREAK and, when that didn't help (TCP already gone, packets get lost!), I tried (just out of curiosity) a Rekey. Now I can see
