similar to: [PATCH] tar-in: Add workaround because tar doesn't restore capabilities (RHBZ#1384241).

Add additional arguments for tar, so extended attributes and/or SELinux contexts can be saved in output tars. --- daemon/tar.c | 18 +++++++++++++----- generator/actions.ml | 10 +++++++++- 2 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/daemon/tar.c b/daemon/tar.c index d6f8f2f..68af749 100644 --- a/daemon/tar.c +++ b/daemon/tar.c @@ -311,7 +311,7 @@

guestfsd calls many different tools. Keeping track of all of them is error prone. This patch introduces a new helper macro to put the command string into its own ELF section: GUESTFSD_EXT_CMD(C_variable, command_name); This syntax makes it still possible to grep for used command names. The actual usage of the collected list could be like this: objcopy -j .guestfsd_ext_cmds -O binary

GUESTFSD_EXT_CMD was used by OpenSUSE to track which external commands are run by the daemon and package those commands into the appliance. It is no longer used by recent SUSE builds, so remove it.

There were various places in the library where we open coded making temporary filenames. This uses the utility function instead. --- lib/appliance-uefi.c | 4 +++- lib/command.c | 5 +++-- lib/drives.c | 4 +++- lib/inspect-icon.c | 12 +++++++++--- lib/launch-direct.c | 5 ++--- lib/launch-libvirt.c | 5 ++--- lib/launch-uml.c | 5 ++--- 7 files changed, 24

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=847880 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=847881 This patch series adds various optional arguments to the tar-in and tar-out commands. Firstly (1/7) an optional "compress" flag is added to select compression. This makes the calls tgz-in/tgz-out/txz-in/txz-out deprecated, and expands the range of compression types available.

GUESTFSD_EXT_CMD is used by OpenSUSE to track which external commands are run by the daemon and package those commands into the appliance. However because this uses linker trickery it won't work from OCaml code. Replace it with a [nearly] standard C mechanism. Files still have to declare the external commands they will use, eg: DECLARE_EXTERNAL_COMMANDS ("btrfs",

Commits 3c27f3d91e1566854747bbe844186783fc84f3a8 and 1b6f0daa9ae7fcc94e389232d0c397816cda973d added an internal API for running commands asynchronously. It is only used by the copy-in and copy-out APIs. Unfortunately this made the command code very complex: it was almost impossible to redirect stderr to a file, and there were a lot of long-range dependencies through the file. It was also buggy:

The last (only?) caller of guestfs_int_cmd_clear_close_files() disappeared in commit e4c396888056 ("lib/info: Remove /dev/fd hacking and pass a true filename to qemu-img info.", 2018-01-23), part of v1.37.36.

Hi I am getting messages like total: matches=0 tag_hits=0 false_alarms=0 data=0 or total: matches=29 tag_hits=59 false_alarms=0 data=1663794 in STDERR when I use rsync with "-vv". Is this a known bug? Here is the full rsync command: rsync -e ssh -abvv --delete --exclude lost+found/ --exclude core --exclude *.o --exclude .netscape/cache --max-delete=250 --backup-dir=/some/path

Hi dear list members It's some time that we have issue regarding backup script of samba 4.0.10. It exits with error: "Error while archiving /home/a/samba-backup/samba4_private.121114.tar.bz2" After some troubleshooting, I noticed it is PROBABLY because of tar, issuing this warning with the exit code of 1: "tar: ./private: file changed as we read it" It is related to this

Greetings, I am currently having a problem using smbclient (Samba v2.05a) running on Solaris 2.5.1 to restore a tar file from a tape drive onto a Win NT share. smbclient works successfully when using a tar file on disk, but is skipping the tar file (created by a third party) on the tape drive. The command used is as follows: smbclient //celeborn/test -U peter -T x /dev/rmt/0 The problem

I am doing "tar" test due to some software require "tar cvhf". When I using "tar cvhf and tar xvhf ", files have symbolic link replace by physical files. wield things is my friend using same command 'tar cvhf and tar xvhf". after restore link still there. does there has way when I using "tar cvhf" and "tar xvhf" I can get link back not

This miscellaneous patch adds bindings for: - ntfsfix - ntfsclone - ntfslabel and unifies filesystem label setting through a single API 'set-label' which replaces 'set-e2label' and is also able to set labels on NTFS using the ntfslabel program. 'ntfsfix' has been added as a possible way to fix RHBZ#797760. However I have not found a way to fully fix this bug. See

In an effort to reduce the code, start to use few bits of GLib: - replace the gnulib c-type module - replace the gnulib getprogname module - use g_spawn_sync to launch curl, and drop a file reading function Pino Toscano (6): Include glib.h in p2v.h Use g_ascii_isspace instead of c_isspace from gnulib Use g_get_prgname instead of getprogname from gnulib build: remove no more used gnulib

This is an extended version of: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-September/msg00178.html It adds a couple of simple code changes, so it makes it possible to drop more modules. In addition, more unused modules were dropped. Pino Toscano (5): tests: switch away from xgetcwd daemon: move read_whole_file to common utils daemon: switch from read_file to read_whole_file daemon:

This is an extended version of: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-September/msg00288.html Apparently I forgot it on my tree, so I'm posting that series again, adding an extra cleanup more due to the v2v/common splits.
