Hello- I've recently upgraded from OEL 6.4 to OEL 6.8. Infiniband Hardware installed on the server prevents me from upgrading the OS version any higher. Kernel Version: Oracle Linux Server Red Hat Compatible Kernel (2.6.32-642.el6.x86_64) Since the upgrade, there have been problems with libguestfs-tools hanging, then timing out. I'd like to use the newest version of

Please can anyone enlighten me as to why linux qemu-kvm always creates the console on my terminal, when I am trying to direct all of its input and output to a pipe ? I have created : $ mkfifo /tmp/el6x32{.in,.out,.monitor} and use the command: $ /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel6.4.0 -cpu n270 -smp 1 \ -hda /home/rpmbuild/OEL6/img/OEL6_32.img \ -kernel

Hi Richard thanks for the info. I took the strace approach and ran into this looping over and over again. Is it failing to get time? timer_gettime(0x8, {it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={0, 0}}) = 0 timer_settime(0x8, 0, {it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={0, 250000}}, NULL) = 0 timer_gettime(0x8, {it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={0, 204443}}) = 0 select(16, [0 6 9 13 15], [], [], {1, 0}) = 2 (in [6 13],

Hi all, As title, thanks a lot. My test host configurations: Linux desktop 3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:28:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux The test tool output as following: xxx at desktop:~$ sudo libguestfs-test-tool [sudo] password for xxx: ===== Test starts here ===== LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 TMPDIR=(not set) libguestfs: new guestfs handle 0x16cd0f0 library version:

Aha! Thank you. Yes that does prevent the default stdio console . But no output appears on the input pipe, and outputting to input end has no effect: In one terminal, I do: $ cat /tmp/el6x32.out in the main terminal, I run: $ /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel6.4.0 -cpu n270 -smp 1 -hda /home/rpmbuild/OEL6/img/OEL6_32.img -kernel /home/rpmbuild/OEL6/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.39-400.215.14.el6uek.i686 -initrd

Hey, guys, I have a question about a difference between openssh 4.3 and 5.3. I have plenty of servers with RHEL5 and RHEL6. Most of RHEL5 servers have openssh-server version 4.3p2-72.el5_6.3 (kernel 2.6.39-100.7.1uek) And RHEL6 servers have 5.3p1-111.el6 (kernel 3.8.13-35.el6uek.x86_64) So there is the difference in assigning stdin and stdout for ssh connections. Openssh 4.3 assigns socket (I

It looks to me that the windows 2008 image I am attempting to convert is not being detected as windows but is being updated as a Linux system. When PXE booted the server with the p2v image I ended up with this error: Failed to launch guestfs appliance. Try running again with LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 for more information The system image transferred and I was able to create an XML file to boot it under

Why does the toplevel Makefile process appliance/, and creates supermin.d during make install, whith configure --disable-appliance? I have to double check what actually happens, it seems it causes startup failures if the resulting binary packages are started on a host that happens to have supermin installed. Olaf

Hi, I am using libguestfs 1.12.0 and I am facing a problem with it . I am using guestfs python bindings to "launch" a vdi image file . It works fine except immediately after a VM is stopped(which uses the same vdi file) i.e in normal conditions launch command works but when a vm (which uses the same vdi file) is started - stopped , a call to "launch" command hangs the
