similar to: [PATCH 0/3] protocol: Abstract out socket operations.

As the start of work to add remote support, I'm taking a close look at the protocol layer in the library. These are some small cleanups. Rich.

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)

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.

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

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

Introduce an internal helper to create paths for sockets; will be useful for changing later the logic for placing sockets. --- src/guestfs-internal.h | 1 + src/launch-direct.c | 4 +++- src/launch-libvirt.c | 10 ++++++---- src/launch.c | 15 +++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 25 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/guestfs-internal.h b/src/guestfs-internal.h index

Hi, continuing what started a couple of weeks ago [1], the attached patch series continues the work in making it easier to build and run libguestfs (in fixed appliance mode) on OSes different than Linux. The provided changes should cause no functional changes on Linux. [1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2014-October/msg00176.html Thanks, -- Pino Pino Toscano (9): build: check

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

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.

Hey, When downloading a file whose path contains multi-byte utf-8, libguestfs sometimes crashes. This reproduces when using python, and not when using guestfish. Code to reproduce: for i in range(2000): g.download ('/xxx?', '/tmp/1') #0 raise (sig=<optimized out>) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:50 #1 0x00007ffff7fac140 in <signal handler called> () at

This is the libguestfs companion patch to: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2013-September/msg00045.html Rich.

The previous code: fcntl (fd, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK) was technically incorrect, because it would have reset any other flags on the file descriptor.

This rounds off hotplugging support by allowing you to add and remove drives at any stage (before and after launch). Rich.

This is, I guess, version 3 of this patch series which adds disk labels and hotplugging (only hot-add implemented so far). The good news is .. it works! Rich.

Thanks Rich. I have used libguestfs for several month. It worked perfectly before, the issue appears recently. I am trying guestfs_set_backend (g, "direct").
