similar to: [PATCH] api: Don't truncate /dev/stdout or /dev/stderr when used as FileOut.

Hi Rich, I am developing a patch for btrfs enhancement: btrfs-convert. When I do test, run: make check tests, in dir libguestfs/tests/c-api, I got these error: 0/516 test_btrfs_convert_0 libguestfs: error: btrfs_convert: /dev/sda1: block size is too small conversion aborted. FAIL: test_btrfs_convert_0 I also ran "btrfs-convert" command to deal

Disable the test case temporarily for 2 reasons: 1. Because the default test disk size is 500M, while btrfs convert command think it is too small to convert it(actually, just add 10M or 20M more is enough). 2. Btrfs-progs has may have a tiny bug, when execute the command in guestfish, it report some error, but convert the filesystem to btrfs successfully. Signed-off-by: Pino Tsao

When running (eg) dnf on a 32 bit i686 guest when the host is 64 bit x86_64, dnf believes it is running on a 64 bit machine and so tries to install x86_64 packages. We can 'trick' dnf into believing it's a 32 bit machine using the setarch program. $ virt-builder fedora-22 --arch i686 --install 'gperf' ... [ 27.4] Installing packages: gperf ...

Dear List, I want to run a rsync-ing script in cron, generating a very verbose -vv rsync log in a log file. The log file should combine both stderr and stdin, which is easy: backup.sh >>/var/log/backup.log 2>&1 However, I would like to propagate only stderr to cron - in case there has been an error, cron will mail me the assembled stderr output. I tried the following: $
