similar to: [PATCH 0/7] Better testing of the guestfsd daemon.

In v2: - Kernel command line parsing now moved to the appliance. - In the captive daemon test, the daemon cleanly shuts down on exit. - Add another btrfs test. Rich.

Previously posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2015-June/msg00266.html Rich.

This patch series lets you run the daemon under valgrind. Many errors were found and fixed. With the complete series applied, valgrind doesn't show any errors.

From: "Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones at redhat.com> Check /sbin, /usr/sbin, /bin and /usr/bin to ensure that neither the directory nor the parent (eg. /usr) is a symlink, and use this directory for the virtual directory used to store guestfsd in the appliance. --- appliance/Makefile.am | 9 +++++---- configure.ac | 20 ++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 25

From: "Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones at redhat.com> This commit allows you to run the daemon under valgrind. You have to enable it at configure time: ./configure --enable-valgrind-daemon This should *not* be done for production builds. When this feature is enabled, valgrind is added to the appliance and the daemon is run under valgrind. Log messages from valgrind are passed

Since v2: - Add perl tests. - Reworked and fixed the tests for virt-builder. - Some further minor bug fixes.

This is a more complete patch to add the test harness. The only parts missing now are the language bindings (except OCaml). The language bindings need a bit more thought. At the moment most language binding tests are done through some sort of shell script like perl/run-perl-tests which either runs each test itself or uses some language-specific machinary to run each test. The problem with that

Since v3: - A large number of fixes, especially for running the tests on installed libguestfs. - Fixed EXTRA_DIST rules throughout. - Extra patch 17/17 which is a tidy-up of the generated XML listing guests. Rich.

In the kernel and qemu communities it is routine for patches that will be backported to stable branches to be posted for review. I'm proposing we do the same for libguestfs stable branches. All of the attached have been tested with 'make check-release'. Rich.

Instead of forcing valgrind to be run when --enable-valgrind-daemon is passed to configure, enable it only when the backend setting "valgrind_daemon" is set. This allows developers to keep building with --enable-valgrind-daemon, which unconditionally adds valgrind in the appliance but using only when requested. When --enable-valgrind-daemon is not passed (typical for release builds),

This is a User-Mode Linux backend for libguestfs. You can select it by doing: export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=uml export LIBGUESTFS_QEMU=/path/to/vmlinux Note we're reusing the 'qemu' variable in the handle for convenience. QEmu is not involved when using the UML backend. This almost works. UML itself crashes when the daemon tries to connect to the serial port. I suspect it's

v1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2013-August/msg00005.html This now works, to some extent. The main problem now is that devices are named /dev/ubd[a-] which of course confuses everything. I'm thinking it may be easier to add a udev rule to rename them. Rich.

v3: - Don't remove the LVM transform.

v2 of previous patch, which fixes some missing bits. For now I'm going to go with Pino's RHEL 7.1 patch, since it is at least smaller than this. So I'm sending this to the list just to have it archived for later. Rich.

Hi, newer lvm2 releases don't have have uncommented "filter" lines, so the current way to edit lvm.conf doesn't work anymore. Instead, switch to augeas (with a "custom" len) for a cleaner and working way to set the lvm filter. Pino Toscano (3): daemon: add add_sprintf daemon: move AUGEAS_ERROR to the common header daemon: lvm-filter: use augeas for setting the

Simplify how we handle lvm.conf.

Hi, this series improves the way LVM is used in the appliance: in particular, now lvmetad can eventually run at all, and with the correct configuration. Also improve the listing strategies. Changes in v2: - dropped patch #5, will be sent separately - move lvmetad statup in own function (patch #2) Thanks, Pino Toscano (4): daemon: lvm-filter: set also global_filter daemon: lvm-filter:
