To allow easier downstream tweaks to the virt-rescue welcome message, just output the content of the /etc/issue file in the appliance. Thus, a new extras.tar.gz file appeared in supermin.d containing the etc/issue file and future tweaks like this one. --- appliance/Makefile.am | 11 +++++++++++ appliance/init | 11 ++--------- appliance/issue | 9 +++++++++ 3 files changed, 22

I also sorted the list. Between libguestfs 1.28 and 1.30, the appliance grew from 95MB to 213MB. Using guestmount and filelight (see link below) I could see that the main contributor was these two directories, which should not be necessary. With this change, the size goes down to 119MB.

Move the removal of the files which don't exist or cannot be read, doing it after the filtering with excludefiles and hostfiles files.

I had tried this approach, to add /etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/resolved to excludefiles, however it didn't work. As far as I know, this hook is included in the base image and according to [1], the current implementation does not apply excludefiles to the base image.

Hi, My both CentOS 5 servers have logging problems. Logs such as messages, boot.log, kernel, spooler, and tallylog in /var/log directory are all 0 size. The kernel is: Linux 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 #1 SMP. Since the /var/log/messages contained no information it would be impossible to troubleshoot the problem. I am very sure both systems have not been hacked by others. Sincerely, Frank Ling

Workaround for Ubuntu which uses this script to try to start a systemd service. That won't work because systemd is not used inside the appliance.

Hi, this is a prototype of something I've around for some time. Basically it is about adding new appliances in addition to the main one currently used and kept up-to-date automatically: this way it is possible to create new appliances with extra packages, to be used in specific contexts (like virt-rescue, with more network/recovery tools) without filling the main appliance. It's still

Remove the logfiles configured by /etc/logrotate.d/*. Omit the logfile of "samba" and "sssd" which we removed them separately .
