similar to: [PATCH 0/5] Improve inspection of /usr filesystems

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. Changes in v2: - removed patches #1 and #2, already pushed - drop patch #3, no more needed - replace patch #4 with a better suggestion from Rich - change if into assert in patch #5 Thanks, Pino Toscano

v9 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00139.html This depends on these three series (the first two being single minor patches): https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00207.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00209.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00215.html There is no substantive change.

This depends on the patch series "[PATCH 00/27] Reimplement many daemon APIs in OCaml." (https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00098.html) v8 was posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00274.html v9: - I split up the mega-patch into a more reviewable series of smaller, incremental patches. There are some other changes vs v8, but

This fixes almost everything. Note that it adds an extra commit which fixes the whole utf8/iconv business. It's probably better to list what isn't fixed: (1) I didn't leave the osinfo code around because I'm still haven't looked too closely at virt-builder-repository. Can't we just fetch this code from the git history when we need it? (2) I didn't change the way

v10: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-July/msg00245.html No actual change here, but I rebased and retested. Also this series now does not depend on any other patch series since everything else needed is upstream. Rich.

The assumption that Linux will map the MBR partition to /dev/sda1 and the BSD 'a' partition to /dev/sda5 is not always correct.

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 ---

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.

Also it now passes a test where I compared about 100 disk images processed with old and new virt-inspector binaries. The output is identical in all cases except one which is caused by a bug in blkid

Look for /lib/os-release in the /usr partition and try to use it, if present, before using lsb-release later on. This should not change the final result of the inspection, while using the os-release detection method also for CoreOS. --- Nikos, since you added the support for CoreOS in libguestfs, can you please check whether this change works for you as well? Thanks in advance.
