Hi, Rich: I met a supermin issue on CentOS 7.1: supermin: version: 5.1.10 supermin: rpm: detected RPM version 4.11 supermin: package handler: fedora/rpm supermin: acquiring lock on /root/test/aaa/lock supermin: build: /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d supermin: build: visiting /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/base.tar.gz type gzip base image (tar) supermin: build: visiting

Move the removal of the files which don't exist or cannot be read, doing it after the filtering with excludefiles and hostfiles files. This avoid stat'ing files which will be excluded later anyway, hence reducing the I/O during a supermin build phase. --- src/build.ml | 32 ++++++++++++++++---------------- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/build.ml

I also sorted the list. Between libguestfs 1.28 and 1.30, the appliance grew from 95MB to 213MB. Using guestmount and filelight (see link below) I could see that the main contributor was these two directories, which should not be necessary. With this change, the size goes down to 119MB.
