Hi, all. I've set up an LXC container for various Openstack admin chores, and now I'm being asked to have it used for importing qcow2 images -- on which we want to run utilities like virt-sparsify and virt-sysprep, first. Sadly, when I do that, it dies horribly, e.g., root@openstack-cli:/tmp# virt-sysprep -a cloud-image.qcow2 Examining the guest ... libguestfs: warning:

This was fixed upstream in:

I'm pleased to announce libguestfs 1.26, a library and set of tools for accessing and modifying virtual machine disk images. This release took more than 6 months of work by a considerable number of people, and has many new features (see release notes below). You can get libguestfs 1.26 here: Main website: http://libguestfs.org/ Source:

Add new scripts for: - guestunmount - virt-copy-in - virt-copy-out - virt-customize - virt-dib - virt-diff - virt-get-kernel - virt-p2v-make-disk - virt-p2v-make-kickstart - virt-p2v-make-kiwi - virt-tar-in - virt-tar-out Also combine the separate virt-resize script into the general script virt-alignment-scan. There wasn't really any reason to have separate scripts. --- .gitignore

I'm pleased to announce libguestfs 1.28, a library and set of tools for accessing and modifying virtual machine disk images. This release took 7 months of work by a considerable number of people, and has many new features (see release notes below), including new 'virt-v2v' and 'virt-p2v' tools for importing guests from foreign hypervisors to KVM, and 'virt-log' which

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. Here is the link: http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/ubuntu-image.html *2. What exact command(s) did you run?* virt-sysprep -d trusty *3. What was the precise error or output of these commands?* Examining the guest ... Fatal error:

Hi all, I encountered the following error when I tried to run virt-sysprep on a qcow2 image. virt-sysprep: error: no operating systems were found in the guest image The version I used for libguest is as follows: [libguestfs-1.36.5] The same issue happened on other versions such as libguestfs-1.32.7. # ./run ./sysprep/virt-sysprep -v -x -a

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 there, I am trying to write an article on virt-builder and managed to compile version 1.24.1 of libguestfs on Ubuntu 13.10 (I had mixed success with the git version and 1.25.x). When I am running virt-builder I am getting an error message: virt-builder: error: virt-resize failed Upon further investigation it turns out that there's a kernel panic when booting the freshly created image.
