similar to: [PATCH] virt-diff: add additional ignore options

added: --no-compare-xattrs --no-compare-extra-stats --no-compare-perms --no-compare-uids --no-compare-times to ignore specified files informations when comparing. The current strategy to disable comparison on file informations is to flatten data structure so they return the same 0/NULL value on comparison and be, in fact, ignored to determine if the files differ. This patch preserve original

The existing APIs guestfs_stat, guestfs_lstat and guestfs_lstatlist return a stat structure that contains atime, mtime and ctime fields that store only the timestamp in seconds. Modern filesystems can store timestamps down to nanosecond granularity, and the ordinary glibc stat(2) wrapper will return these in "hidden" stat fields: struct timespec st_atim; /* Time of last

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

Please CC me directly as i'm not on the list. I have attached a patch against latest CVS (cvs diff -u) that adds the following functionality. I can break it up if you would prefer it in pieces. Comments welcome. o add compare-perms option This creates a new inode for a file even if only the perms have changed. This way if a file outside of destdir is hardlinked to a dentry inside

Wherever we had code which did: if (something_bad) { perror (...); exit (EXIT_FAILURE); } replace this with use of the error(3) function: if (something_bad) error (EXIT_FAILURE, errno, ...); The error(3) function is supplied by glibc, or by gnulib on platforms which don't have it, and is much more flexible than perror(3). Since we already use error(3), there seems to be

Updating gnulib has caused -Wformat-signedness to be enabled. This has revealed many problems in C format strings. The fixes here fall into the following main categories: - Using %d with an unsigned parameter. - %x and %o expect an unsigned argument. - uid_t and gid_t are unsigned on Linux. The safe way to print these is to cast them to uintmax_t and then print then using the %ju
