v1 here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2020-March/msg00099.html This one fixes most of the points picked up in review, and does not strdup the strings which should keep down memory usage if that is a concern. Rich.

The reason is complex, see comment 5 of the bug linked above. This patch filters out the troublesome xattr. For justification, see the comment I added in patch 3. Patch 1 & 2 are refactoring.

The first patch preserves file mode, UID, GID and SELinux context across edited files. The second patch adds a useful new command in guestfish ('llz') which shows SELinux context (like 'ls -laZ') that was useful when debugging this. Rich.

This is a further, more comprehensive fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=788641 The guestfish 'edit' command (aka 'emacs', 'vi') suffered from the same problems as virt-edit and more. It could have failed and left a partially overwritten file, and it didn't preserve permissions etc from the original file. These three patches fix all this. The first

Hi, we needed these changes when we had to build a guest image compatible with a starting guest image but not backed by it in any way? We needed some tool to check our progress, comparing original and? rebuilt (from scratch) images, and virt-diff seemed the best option, but? we had to soften the comparison to reduce the noise in the output. I added some options to ignore certain informations when

The kernel returns xattr names in a slightly peculiar format. We parsed this format several times in the code.

This implements new guestfish only command called journal-view. There seems to be a minor issue when user wants to run it through pager (more) and wants cancel it. User will end up with stuck guestfish until journal-view transfers all journal items. Output is now configurable, it's the same format as virt-log has, since both uses same code now.

Hi Rich, This series includes patches to make `make syntax-check` pass. Some of the fix require change to maint.mk, but the file is not in git repo. Is it intended? Thanks!

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

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

These two patches are probably not completely independent, but separating them is a lot of work. With *both* patches applied, all the tests and extra-tests pass. That's no guarantee however that there isn't a mistake, so I don't think this patch is a candidate for the 1.16 branch, until it's had a lot more testing in development. 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
