Thanks Richard. I am not able to perform a mount on the machine that I’ll be building this image on. Is there a way for me to copy the files into the image without doing a mount - as the perl script appears to do at this point: $g->mount ("/dev/sda1", "/"); thanks

Hi everyone, I'm working with libguestfs 1.30.3 on Centos 7 host. I encountered a problem when I wanted to install extlinux with guestfish as a bootloader for my guests and I always get this error: SYSLINUX 4.05 EDD 0x54f93f16 Copyright (C) 1994-2010 H. Peter Anvin et al ERROR: No configuration file found No default or UI configuration directive found! boot: _ *This is how I create the

Thank you for the quick response. > Strange way to do this, as libguestfs can do all this. Sorry to ask this (I'm a newly graduated engineer and I new to the virtualization world), but how can libguestfs do all of the above?, do you mean it can create all the partitions inside a new lvm volume or a new raw image?? > Did you copy the syslinux.cfg file into the guest?

There is some interest lately in making a self-contained grub2 boot image - call it pvgrub2, used for booting paravirtual domU in xen where a grub2 config is installed. First attempt------------------ I first tried using the grub2*.src.rpm from the C7 vault. I configured as shown belowhttps://blog.xenproject.org/2015/01/07/using-grub-2-as-a-bootloader-for-xen-pv-guests/ for headers, I used

I don't understand what this means, I found it in root's email this morning: To log into the recovery system via ssh set up /root/.ssh/authorized_keys or specify SSH_ROOT_PASSWORD WARNING: /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/moddep.lst not found, grub2-mkimage will likely fail.

Hi, On Tues Jul 17th, we had a full GitLab outage from 14:00 to 18:00 UTC, whilst attempting to upgrade the underlying storage. This was a semi-planned outage, which we'd hoped would last for approximately 30min. During the outage, the GitLab web UI and API, as well as HTTPS git clones through https://gitlab.freedesktop.org, were completely unavailable, giving connection timeout errors.

Tried this in both AWS and GCE as I though it may be a specific cloud vendor issue. SELinux is disabled, lsof | grep home shows nothing, lsattr /home shows nothing. Simply get "Device or resource busy." Works just find on 7.2 so I'm kinda at a loss. Scanned over the RHEL release notes and didn't see anything. Anyone else have this issue? We move our /home to another mount point

Hi Debian Grub maintainer, In december, Xen PVH support has been committed in grub master: https://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel at gnu.org/msg28125.html The last pieces needed in the Linux kernel to boot PVH with grub2 landed in Linux 4.20. I asked our kernel team to carry those patches on top of the Linux 4.19 kernel that is going to ship in Buster, and that wish was granted:

The cloud instance would need funding to run at the scale the llvm.org <http://llvm.org/> server runs at. It can only accommodate about 5k submissions worth of data at its current size. I assume that would be exhausted pretty fast with a bunch of machines submitting several times per day. > On Dec 1, 2014, at 9:49 AM, Tobias Grosser <tobias at grosser.es> wrote: > > On

Hi all, I'm taking a stab at deploying a storage cluster to explore the Halo AFR feature and running into some trouble. In GCE, I have 4 instances, each with one 10gb brick. 2 instances are in the US and the other 2 are in Asia (with the hope that it will drive up latency sufficiently). The bricks make up a Replica-4 volume. Before I enable halo, I can mount to volume and r/w files. The

Hey all, I'am able to use pxelinux to successfully boot a particular kernel and image on various IBM PC's ex. 6287-41U and 6591-34U. However, using the same setup (ie. dhcp, tftp, pxelinux.0, pxelinux.cfg, networkcard, bootrom, ram memory) on an IBM 6282-73U my kernel and image decompress fine but I'am getting a...
