Hi, this patch series improves the way /usr filesystems are handled: tag them appropriately, so later on we can find them and merge results they contain directly back for the root filesystem. The series includes also a new private debug API, and its usage to fix the resolution of /dev/mapper/.. devices found in fstab; without it, LVM /usr filesystems are not recognized as belonging to their

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

In case /usr is a symlink to /usr/bin, then we cannot rely on /usr/bin to exist, since /usr might be in a different partition. Thus, in case /bin is a symlink, check it points to "usr/bin". --- src/inspect-fs.c | 20 ++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/inspect-fs.c b/src/inspect-fs.c index 02fdb2a..0714ae1 100644 ---

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

If the /etc/fstab of a guest contains devices specified with UUID or LABEL, then the new OCaml inspection code will report the findfs failure as general failure of the inspection. OTOH, the old C inspection code simply ignored all the devices that cannot be resolved. Hence, restore the old behaviour by ignoring unresolvable devices. --- daemon/inspect_fs_unix_fstab.ml | 12 ++++++++++-- 1 file

Hi, Apparently, guestmount -o allow_other -a "/path/to/raw_file" -m /dev/sda1 "/path/to/mountfolder" is much slower than kpartx -av "/path/to/raw_file" mount /dev/mapper/loop0p1 /path/to/mountfolder (Doing lots of read/write inside the image.) I thought guestmount "only" scripts the above. Seems I was wrong on that. I am currently using

* PATCH FOR DISCUSSION ONLY - NOT TO BE APPLIED * Colin suggested something which seems eminently sensible: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=916780 I've been through a couple of rounds of trying to implement this. I started with adding the option as suggested to the guestmount program, but it tended to make the guestmount program more complex. More importantly, adding the option

Add a mapping for the Hurd device names, so it is possible to enable the inspection of /etc/fstab. --- src/inspect-fs-unix.c | 25 ++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/inspect-fs-unix.c b/src/inspect-fs-unix.c index 3f57cd5..b629508 100644 --- a/src/inspect-fs-unix.c +++ b/src/inspect-fs-unix.c @@ -78,6 +78,7 @@ static pcre

[PATCH 1/7] mount: Add mount_vfs_nochroot This is significantly reworked from before. umount is gone as discussed, and variable motion is minimised. [PATCH 2/7] btrfs: Update btrfs_subvolume_list to take Already provisionally ACKed. Previous comment was that cleanup could be tidier. I looked into creating a new cleanup function for fs_buf, but it isn't possible (or simple, anyway) in this

Hello, I've got a strange behavior with guestmount: I've a root directory with mod/owner = drwx------ root root. I cannot change directory to it as a regular user (as normal), but I can list its content (not normally normal) and I can change directory to a subdirectory in it which is mod drwxr-xr-x. E.g: $ mkdir /tmp/mnt $ guestmount --ro -i -a test.qcow2 /tmp/mnt/ $ cd /tmp/mnt $ ls -ld
