Hi. I need to get ability to download backups of kvm virtual machines (raw images) to end users. Virtualbox users can import ovs images, that i can create, but in case of linux and virt-manager - how users can import images and simply run it? I think about newbie linux users, that can install virt-manager under ubuntu via graphical package manager and do some easy steps... Can you share me info

I'm need to create squashfs from root file system. I see some methods like tar and cpio, but i can't find anything suitable for creating squashfs. Also i can't use root

Hi. I'm try to use guestfish inside golang (extract some files from image and create squashfs from root). Now i can't understand how can i work with mount-local/mount-local-run. Where i can specify what partition i'm export to local? Does i need firstly mount /dev/sda1 to / for example and after that run mount-local /tmp/xxx ? Second - i'm work with guestfish via writing to stdin
