similar to: [PATCH 0/3] [FOR COMMENTS ONLY] Rework inspection.

Previously posted: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2015-December/msg00038.html Inspection now really succeeds on a small number of simple guests. To test it out: $ ./run guestfish -v -x -a /tmp/centos-6.img ><fs> run ><fs> debug sh "guestfs-inspection --verbose" Rich.

This is a more working version. Inspection (partially) succeeds on a real guest this time :-) You can test it out on a real guest (in this case, a CentOS disk image located at /tmp/centos-6.img) by doing: $ ./run guestfish -v -x -a /tmp/centos-6.img ><fs> run ><fs> debug sh "guestfs-inspection --verbose" which will print lots of debugging, and at the end the

[Continuing a discussion we had on IRC last week ...] How to create meaningful regression tests for the inspection code? We'd like developers to be able to test that changes to the inspection code don't break inspection of existing guests. We might not be able to run these tests routinely, and we might have to accept that they have to download hundreds of megabytes of test data. Idea

I'm interested in crafting firewall rules that throttle connections that have lasted more than a certain amount of time. (Most such connections are P2P traffic, which should be given a lower priority than other connections and may constitute network abuse.) Alas, it doesn't appear that FreeBSD's IPFW can keep tabs on how long a connection has been established. Is there another firewall

Hey, Luke doesn''t seem to be able to open a Ferret index I''ve created. Is this expected? If yes, can someone recommend another index inspection tool? Thanks, John

Fixes RHBZ#845234. v3 changes: Drive letters works if inspection is enabled (-m is not given) v2 changes: Ammended so it doesn't do inspection for every dir to list.

This is the (incomplete) patch which reimplements inspection APIs in the daemon. All ‘XXX’s in this patch indicate areas which are not yet implemented or need further work. Rich.

The first three patches were posted previously: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-July/msg00082.html The last two patches in this series change guestfish -i to use this new code.

These three patches (two were previously posted) can do simple operating system inspection in C. Example of use: ><fs> add-ro rhel55.img ><fs> run ><fs> inspect-os /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 ><fs> inspect-get-type /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 linux ><fs> inspect-get-distro /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhel ><fs> inspect-get-arch

In cases where parsing the release file failed and so we have an obviously incorrect major version number, don't try to infer the package manager from the major version number. In the bug report, parsing the /etc/redhat-release file of a CentOS 7.1 guest failed, so major version was set to 0, and the package manager was inferred as "up2date". virt-customize then failed with a

v1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-November/msg00271.html In v2 I just updated the way paths are handled. Note this series requires the following patch to common which adds the common/options/key-option.pod file: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-November/msg00269.html Rich.

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

[A question about whether it is possible to use guestmount on a guest which does not have /etc/fstab. I've no reproduced this because I'm CC-ing my reply to a public mailing list] It's definitely possible. I would suggest first using $ virt-filesystems -a disk.img --all --long -h to get an idea of what's inside your disk image, then you use a command such as: $ guestmount

The libguestfs part of this change. Also a virt-v2v part will be needed. The first patch adds a new feature to podwrapper so that we can use __INCLUDE:file__ directives within the POD itself (instead of using --insert, and one day replacing that). The second patch shows how this change could be used for the included parts of the guestfish man page, including the non-English pages under

Greetings, I am dumping a guest VM memory for inspection using the command "virDomainCoreDumpWithFormat" and the created files appear to belong to root (both user and group). I have searched around but didn't find any answer. Is there a way to instruct QEMU to create those files under a different user? Thank you.

Hi all, I am not a very proficient R-user yet, so I hope I am not wasting people?s time. I want to run a linear mixed model with 3 random factors (A, B, C) where A and B are partially crossed and C is nested within B. I understand that this is not easily possible using lme but it might be using lmer. I encountered two problems when trying: Firstly, I can enter two random factors in lmer but

Hello Richard and all, (continuing from https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2014-September/msg00112.html ). I'm experimenting with libguestfs on non-linux VMs, encountered errors on FreeBSD9.3 and MINIX3 (and few others, but these ones are easy to share), with host Ubuntu 14.04.01 LTS x86-64. Attached are logs from "virt-inspector -v -x" for each VM. The images are here:
