similar to: [PATCH v5 0/2] RFE: journal reader in guestfish

Output is configurable, it's the same format as virt-log has, since both uses same code. First patch moves get_journal_field around and renames it to journal_view and the next one reimplements it a bit and brings it to guestfish.

There seems to be a minor issue when user wants to run it through pager (more) and wants cancel it. User will end up with stuck guestfish until journal-view transfers all journal items. Output is configurable, it's the same format as virt-log has, since both uses same code. Maros Zatko (2): cat: move get_journal_field to fish/journal.c fish: add journal-view command cat/Makefile.am

This implements new guestfish only command called journal-view. There seems to be a minor issue when user wants to run it through pager (more) and wants cancel it. User will end up with stuck guestfish until journal-view transfers all journal items. Output is now configurable, it's the same format as virt-log has, since both uses same code now.

Lets user view journald log from VM in a similar format as journalctl uses. Makes virt-log use the same code as guestfish for journal-view.

The existing mechanism was clunky, slow and used ~ 10 MB of local disk. Rich.

This version doesn't crash or cause hung processes or stuck mountpoints, so that's an improvement. Rich.

This patch is just for review. It enables FUSE support in the API via two new calls, 'guestfs_mount_local' and 'guestfs_umount_local'. FUSE turns out to be very easy to deadlock (necessitating that the machine be rebooted). Running the test from the third patch is usually an effective way to demonstrate this. However I have not yet managed to produce a simple reproducer that

This changes the proposed API slightly. Previously 'mount-local' generating a 'mounted' event when the filesystem was ready, and from the 'mounted' event you had to effectively do a fork. Now, 'mount-local' just initializes the mountpoint and you have to call 'mount-local-run' to enter the FUSE main loop. Between these calls you can do a fork or whatever

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1401320 This series contains two new operations. The second -- and least controversial -- is "passwd-backups" which removes files such as /etc/passwd-, /etc/shadow- and so on. The first one ("backup-files") searches the whole guest filesystem for any regular file which looks like an editor backup file, such as "*~" and

v3: - Split out test for "unix-like" guest OSes into separate commit. - Add guestfish --format=qcow2 to the test (x2). Rich.

In v2: - The backup-files operation now operates on a conservative whitelist of filesystems, so it won't touch anything in /usr. Consequently it also runs much more quickly, about 4 seconds on the barebones virt-builder fedora-25 image. - Call Gc.compact () in visit_tests. - Added documentation to fnmatch.mli.

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

I've sent a github pull request containing this patch here: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/pull/1 I'm interested to know if this interface could be useful to the project. We should be wary, though, of tying useful development history in the form of review discussion into github's proprietary system. Your thoughts are appreciated. Incidentally, I'm also looking for ACKs
