similar to: Mount multiple logical disks (Windows guest)

Hello everyone! I have to implement the functionality of mounting all VM disks/partitions. E.g. if a VM has 2 disks of 2 partitions each (I get it from virt-filesystems), I want to get the following structure on host node after mount: mnt/ ------hdd0/ -------------volume1/ -------------volume2/ ------hdd1/ -------------volume1/ -------------volume2/ I'd like to use guestmount due to

Hello all, I am having an issue with guestmount in respect to live instances and I was hoping someone might have an idea where I've gone wrong. The following output is from my shell session, if there's any more information needed please let me know and I'll happily provide it. [root at longitude ~]# virt-filesystems -d F16-rawhide/dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 [root at longitude ~]#

Hi Rich, This series includes patches to make `make syntax-check` pass. Some of the fix require change to maint.mk, but the file is not in git repo. Is it intended? Thanks! Hu Tao (13): syntax-check: dirty hack to pass bindtextdomain check syntax-check: fix error_message_period check syntax-check: fix makefile_at_at_check syntax-check: fix prohibit_assert_without_use check

Not sure if this possible, but I have a KVM guest running Solaris 10 with the OS on ZFS and I am trying to use libguestfs/guestfish/guestmount to get to the VM. I am running Red Hat EL 5.4 with EPEL rpms as required. The VM is on a LV and it boots fine, but I can't seem to get the syntax correct to get libguestfs to deal with it. Guestmount seemed like the best option because it supports FUSE

Hello everybody, I am using libguestfs-tools version 1.28.1 in a bunch of bash scripts to make back-ups of the files on a visualisation platform. I been trying to get read access to ntfs volumes with data deduplication working. The ntfs-3g guys developed some support and I have this working when using the commands our back-up servers. However when using the guestmount tool the read suport

Hello everybody, This is a cross post to libvirt-users, libguestfs and ceph-users. I came back from FOSDEM 2016 and this was my 7th year or so and seen the awesome development around visualization going on and want to thank everybody for there contributions. I seen presentations from oVirt, OpenStack and quite a few great Redhat people, just like the last previous years. I personally been

This patch updates the guestfs_inspect_get_drive_mappings API call to also return drive letters for GPT paritions. Previously this worked only for MBR partitions. This is achieved by matching the GPT partition GUID with the info stored in the blob from HKLM\SYSTEM\MountedDevices\DosDevices keys. For GPT partions this blob contains a "DMIO:ID:" prefix followed by a 16 byte binary GUID.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction. I don't know if what I am trying to do should work or not. I have 2 disk images. One is a VM with an ext2 boot filesystem and ext4 filesystems with the OS loaded. I am amble to guestmount this with no issue and am able to see the files that are on the ext2 file system. I can also run guestfish on the image, mount the ext2 filesystem, and

I've been able to mount this image with qemu-nbd on Fedora 15 with: mkdir pb.test cd pb.test wget http://www.pixelbeat.org/guestfs/annoying.qcow2.gz wget http://www.pixelbeat.org/guestfs/77de68daecd823babbb58edb1c8e14d7106e83bb_sm.gz gzip -d *.gz mkdir -p /var/lib/nova/instances/_base/ mv 77* /var/lib/nova/instances/_base/ modprobe nbd qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd1 annoying.qcow2 mkdir t mount

OK, subject says using guestmount. I'm surprised the slowdown isn't more than 95%. It's using FUSE which goes through an insane number of layers,

Everyone: hello , i have a question when i boot from the xen built on 3.0.4source code which made i stumble on mounting rootfs , i get it panic when it can not open rootfs . my disk is sata disk of WD 250G ,and i built all the source code in ubuntu feisty amd-64 platform on gcc-3.4.1 compiler . First time i doubt whether i am not compile the ext3 file system in the xen kernel (my rootfs is
