similar to: [PATCH v3 00/10] Add discard support.

This still isn't working at the moment. See: http://marc.info/?t=139457409300003&r=1&w=2 This set of patches: - Adds new APIs to support discard in libguestfs. - Adds discard support to virt-format. - Adds discard support to virt-sysprep. - Implements virt-sparsify --in-place. Rich.

This is only lightly tested at the moment. For context see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1138203#c40 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1075143 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1075164 Note this is not a complete fix. At least one more libguestfs patch is required (to implement virDomainPtr in the python bindings). Plus a virt-manager patch. Rich.

Since v3: - Fix labelling over overlays (see 6/6) - Tested it with a test program which simulates what virt-manager will do. See the attachment here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1075164#c7 Rich.

This completes the implementation on the libguestfs side, allowing python-libvirt dom pointers to be passed to guestfs_add_libvirt_dom.

A hopefully cleaner implementation this time. It doesn't require any special insights into how libvirt-python is implemented. Instead, it requires a change to libvirt-python to add a .c_pointer() method: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-December/msg00615.html Rich.

These patches contain the beginnings of discard (a.k.a. trim or unmap) support. This will allow us to change virt-sparsify to work on disk images in-place (instead of using slow & inefficient copying). The approach used is to add an optional 'discard' parameter to add-drive. It has 3 possible settings: - 'disable' : the default, no discard is done - 'besteffort' :

Instead of creating Guestfs handles and manually apply common options (e.g. debug and trace), use the open_guestfs in Common_utils. This also applies the common options to handles which didn't set them before, so we can inspect also their messages if needed. --- builder/builder.ml | 8 ++------ customize/customize_main.ml | 4 +--- dib/dib.ml | 4 +---

Store the machine-readable flag globally, just like done for verbose/debug/etc, and enhance create_standard_options to provide --machine-readable automatically. --- common/mlstdutils/std_utils.ml | 4 ++++ common/mlstdutils/std_utils.mli | 7 +++++-- common/mltools/tools_utils.ml | 7 ++++++- common/mltools/tools_utils.mli | 5 ++++- 4 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff

A lot of code runs 'qemu-img create' or 'truncate' to create blank disk images. In the past I resisted adding an API to do this, since it essentially duplicates what you can already do using other tools (ie. qemu-img). However this does simplify calling code quite a lot since qemu-img is somewhat error-prone to use (eg: don't try to create a disk called "foo:bar")

The first patch is just some simple refactoring. See the second patch for a description of the new virt-sparsify --tmp option. I tested this using a loopback device as my temporary block device, and it seems to work fine for me. Federico .. this needs a BZ :-) Rich.

From: Nikolay Ivanets <stenavin@gmail.com> I faced with situation where libguestfs cannot recognize partitions on a disk image which was partitioned on a system with "4K native" sector size support. In order to fix the issue we need to allow users to specify desired physical and/or logical block size per drive basis. It is definitely not a complete patch but rather a way to

Hi All, Here's the latest patch. I think this should address the problem. The query string is now only appended to the end of a URI in the HTTP and HTTPS cases. The add-uri test now passes, and 'make check' still passes. -- Gabriel

Parse the query string from URLs, and pass it as new add_drive optarg; use it when building the file= URL for qemu. Accept query string only for http and https protocols, for now. --- Possibly it looks like an ad-hoc solution for http(s), although I'm not sure how it could possibly be generalized somehow (maybe "extra params" which would be the query string for http(s)?).

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=912499 (especially comments 7 & 10) This patch set is the final fix so that we can access disks in use by other guests when SELinux and sVirt are enabled. Previously such disks were inaccessible because sVirt labels the disks with a random SELinux label to prevent other instances of qemu from being able to read them. So naturally the libguestfs

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.

Version 1 of the patch, for discussion, but not to be applied. It does work, but needs a lot more testing. This removes all the psychopathic gettextify cruft, and replaces it with a 99 line Makefile.am. A large win, I think. The third patch implements gettext support in the OCaml tools. The fourth patch is just for illustration. It shows the consequent changes to libguestfs.pot and the po

This series improves ceph rbd support in libguestfs. It uses the servers list, adds support for a custom username, and starts to add support for custom secret.
