similar to: does guestfs_list_partitions() work with Windows 95 images?

I used the "Advanced Options" of Macrium Reflect (on Windows 7) to do a raw byte copy. If it is, then yes I'd say the image is corrupted. However you'd > probably want to hexdump

Now I'm tweaking my old code and just replacing my guestfs_mount() call with a hard-coded

I'm using a Windows raw disk image that is "converted" to the VDI format by custom code that prepends a header to the image. I use 'vdi' for GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT of guestfs_add_drive_opts(). After launching the appliance, the call to guestfs_list_partitions() results in an empty list. Is there a way to add the drive but have an offset into the image file as a

Did install from source of libguestfs-1.20.1 on Ubuntu-12.10. And libguestfs-test-tool complains about not finding libcap.so.2 uptime: 2.26 1.00 guestfsd: error while loading shared libraries: libcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [ 2.277795] Unregister pv shared memory for cpu 0 [ 2.278324] kvm: exiting hardware virtualization [ 2.278763] sd 2:0:1:0:

Is there any sample code available to demonstrate the use of the guestfs_hivex_node_set_value API? I have no problem traversing and reading keys using libguestfs hivex wrappers - but continue to fail on any write attempts. The return is always -1 and errno is unchanged. I've set the environment variable HIVEX_DEBUG to 1 on a chance that this may help - but it doesn't. The only sample I

I've been using libguestfs-1.18.9 but decided to "upgrade" to 1.19.60. Using Ubuntu 12.04 with the older version installed via source. So I went through the same process with the new version of guestfs sources and got the following errors on 'make install': make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. make install-data-hook make[3]: Entering directory

Upon seeing RWM Jones article "Using mount-local API from C" I became curious because I thought there WAS a way to combine aspects of FUSE with the tools provided by libguestfs. So if I wanted to create my own filesystem using callbacks placed in the 'fuse_operations' struct (parameter to 'fuse_main()'), I could do so using guestfs. But after reading the article and

Could this be due to my version of unix2dos? Or just a typo. I'm a Linux n00b so my apologies for

Here's what I needed to build and run 1.20 on Debian/unstable. Perhaps the libcap2 dependency in the packagelist should only be added if libcap has actually been used in building guestfsd...
