similar to: [PATCH v2 0/3] copying gpt attributes

Hi all, Here is v3 of the series, taking Richard's comments in account.

Hi all, Here is the series fixing the bug I mentioned on IRC regarding the GPT attribute flags to copy to the new disk in a virt-resize.

virt-resize didn't preserve the per-partition GPT GUID. Now that guests using UEFI are becoming common (basically it's the default on aarch64) we need to take into account that sometimes the partition GUID is used by the bootloader NVRAM variables to identify the boot partition, so it must be preserved across resize. This bug caused the 'virt-builder --size' option to fail on

Hi, attached there are few patches to implement a way to get the label of GPT partitions (refactoring an existing function and adding a new daemon API) and using it in virt-resize to restore them when copying partitions. Thanks, Pino Toscano (3): daemon: parted: refactor sgdisk info parsing code New API: part-get-name (RHBZ#593511). resize: preserve GPT partition names (RHBZ#1060404).

In some cases, the first stage bootloader needs the 'Legacy BIOS bootable' flag to be set on the partition. This change copies all flags (including this one) for each partition of the old disk to the new one to avoid ending up with non-bootable disks. --- resize/resize.ml | 15 ++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/resize/resize.ml

Hi Rich, This is v2 series to add support for resizing MBR logical partitions. I found the reason of problem in v1 that parted reports error when adding logical partitions, is that logical partitions are not aligned to 2 sectors. This problem doesn't appear in v2. This is for early review, because of: 1. I'm not sure the splitting of patches is appropriate or not, but it's much

Rename the sgdisk_info_extract_uuid_field to sgdisk_info_extract_field in order to reuse it for other field types. Just like its C ancestor, it now needs an extractor function to be passed as parameter. --- daemon/parted.ml | 22 ++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/daemon/parted.ml b/daemon/parted.ml index d6638867a..6fe803613 100644 ---

add udev_settle calls to print_partition_table and sgdisk_info_extract_field because the inspect-os calls guestfs_part_get_parttype and guestfs_part_get_gpt_guid for all parition devices found and this causes intermittent with opening block devices that are certainly present yet RESOLVE_DEVICE macro would fail wiht ENOENT. --- daemon/parted.c | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) diff

Hi Rich, This is v3 series to add support for resizing MBR logical partitions. changes to v2: 1. remove p_part_num 2. remove filter_parts 3. name the function calculate_target_partitions 4. remove the code to restart guest introduced in v2 changes to v1: 1. spit the patches so it's easier to review 2. fix the parted error caused by unaligned logical partitions 3. extend the

Initial discussion is here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-January/msg00188.html. v2 was posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-January/msg00246.html. v3 comparing to v2 is just a rebase with slightly changed commits comments.

Add p_mbr_p_type as member of type partition to describe mbr partition type. Currently we use: List.filter (fun p -> parttype <> MBR || p.G.part_num <= 4_l) to filter out logical partitions. Commit 0c396a4bce578486dfc4a38e1f8c47fd5c2836ea introduce API part_get_mbr_part_type, we could use this to know the part_type. Furthermore, we could also use p_mbr_p_type for resizing logical

Rename the sgdisk_info_extract_uuid_field to sgdisk_info_extract_field in order to reuse it for other field types. To avoid possible confusion, the list of valid characters used to extract the value is added to the function parameters. --- daemon/parted.ml | 18 +++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/daemon/parted.ml b/daemon/parted.ml index

We lack of showing parttition type for part-list command. This patch will add support for this. Also 'parted -m' did not provide partition type info, remove code section for 'parted -m' process.

'sfdisk --part-type' used to merely set the MBR ID byte in the partition. However since sfdisk was rewritten, it now "helpfully" corrupts the first sector of the partition if you change the type byte from an ordinary partition to an extended partition. So we need to change the order in which we sets the partition type byte, to do it before copying the partition content. This
