Hi, *1. What are you trying to do?* I was trying to clean up a virtual machine image in place. I followed the instruction in the Openstack documentation to do so.

What was the precise error or output of these commands?* Examining the guest ... Fatal error:

Thanks for your response Rich. Please see the output of --trace --verbose below. Regarding your suggestion to convert the vmdk to some other format, I do not want to do it. A security consultant said by modifying certain files in our VM and restarting the VM, one can gain access to encrypted data in our VM. I want to reproduce it. I am able to mount the VM but not able to modify files since it can

Hello, I'm having trouble connecting to rbd images. It seems like somewhere the name is getting chewed up. I wonder if this is related to my previous troubles [1] [2] with rbd images. I'm trying to add an rbd image, but when I launch the guestfs object I get an error: >> libguestfs: trace: launch = -1 (error) I'm adding a single RBD >> libguestfs: trace: add_drive

Add a --size option to setting the size of the ext2 filesystem, so it is possible to create ext2 appliances with smaller disk images. The default is like the previously hardcoded value of 4GB. --- src/build.ml | 4 ++-- src/ext2.ml | 19 ++++++++++--------- src/prepare.ml | 2 +- src/supermin.ml | 9 +++++++-- src/supermin.pod | 15 +++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 35

Move the handling of the SUPERMIN_* envvars, and the kernel copy/symlink out of find_kernel to build_kernel: this way find_kernel does only the search. Also, the modules path search is done in by find_kernel as well. This is mostly code motion, with no behaviour changes. --- src/kernel.ml | 89 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------------ 1 file changed, 44 insertions(+), 45

Hi Rich Kindly ignore my previos mail. I have downloaded the latest version of supermin supermin-5.1.8 and have compiled it for powerpc.Moreover there was no need to patch the src/ kernel.ml file as the changes were already implemented on the latest version. But still when i run libguestfs-test-tool on powerpc ubuntu,I get the below logs.. libguestfs-test-tool

Newer kernel packages e.g. in Fedora place the kernel image named "vmlinuz" directly within the modules path of that kernel. Find these images first, not looking for kernels in /boot if any is found under modules paths. --- src/kernel.ml | 24 +++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/kernel.ml b/src/kernel.ml index 2e061d8..b4e89da

If the specified output directory ends with a slash, chop it then; leaving it in will create problems later, like creating the temporary directory inside the output directory (and not aside it), and trying to rename it to the directory containing it (which will fail indeed). --- src/supermin.ml | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/supermin.ml b/src/supermin.ml index

It looks to me that the windows 2008 image I am attempting to convert is not being detected as windows but is being updated as a Linux system. When PXE booted the server with the p2v image I ended up with this error: Failed to launch guestfs appliance. Try running again with LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 for more information The system image transferred and I was able to create an XML file to boot it under
