similar to: [nbdkit PATCH v2] tests: Skip guestfs code on CentOS 6

There is a small test provided. I tested this a lot more locally and it seems pretty robust. Rich.

A bit of refactoring to the HAVE_LIBGUESTFS conditional, coupled with the addition of a LIBGUESTFS_TESTS intermediate list, allows us to run a few more tests on CentOS 6 (adding some tests of command-line behavior and filters that was previously completely skipped). For the two tests that we can't run, using check_PROGRAMS still causes those programs to try to compile (which leads to compile

I've posted some of these patches or ideas before; but now I'm confident enough with the series that it should be ready to push; at any rate, I can now run test-socket-activation in a tight loop without triggering any crashes or hangs. With this in place, I'm going back to work on making the nbd forwarder wort with the parallel thread model. Eric Blake (8): sockets: Use

In libguestfs we have a few tests that require root privileges and they are skipped by default (normally you should not build or test as root), but you can do this to run them: sudo make check-root In nbdkit I wanted to check that the file plugin works with block devices (this is not tested), and the only way I can sensibly think to do this is using a loopback device and root. This commit

To avoid bitrot, any new feature needs testsuite coverage ;) Still to come: once I get my work on parallel nbd finished, I will add a test-parallel-nbd.sh that closely mirrors what my other series added in test-parallel-file.sh. If desired, it might be a fun exercise to tweak test-nbd into using a for-loop of user-controlled depth for how deep you want to nest the forwarding tree, to see where

v2: - Fixes a number of bugs in corner cases. - Uses a 1M block size to fetch from the underlying plugin. This improves performance considerably. I also tested this much more thoroughly and can't find any more bugs. Rich.

'make distcheck' calls us out for leaving files behind after 'make distclean' that were not present in the tarball. Either these files are expensive enough that end users should not be required to regenerate them (so they should be distributed), or they should be cleaned when a user asks to get back to the pristine tarball state. Automake suggests this hierarchy of cleaning:

Applies on top of my pending series for the exportname filter, addressing one of the todo's in that cover letter.

Matt asked if xz should really be a filter rather than a plugin. The answer is yes, of course it should be! That's been something in the todo file for a while. The commit converts the xz plugin code into a filter (leaving the plugin around, but deprecating it). plugin: nbdkit xz file.xz filter: nbdkit --filter=xz file file.xz plugin: # can't be done filter: nbdkit

I think this addresses everything in Eric's v2 review. Note that the first patch is best viewed using ‘-w’ to ignore whitespaces changes. Rich.

This filter caches the last result of the extents() call and offers a nice speed-up for clients that only support req_on=1 in combination with plugins like vddk, which has no overhead for returning information for multiple extents in one call, but that call is very time-consuming. Quick test showed that on a fast connection and a sparsely allocated 16G disk with a OS installed `qemu-img map` runs

Simpler, and including tests. Rich.

Experimental and only very lightly tested so far. Rich.

This implements support for MBR logical partitions in nbdkit-partition-filter, complementing existing support in the partitioning plugin. Rich.

This is a revised version of the two series previously posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-January/msg00137.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-January/msg00139.html There have been many smaller changes but the highlights are: - Using SECTOR_SIZE instead of hard-coding 512 everywhere. - Additional safety checks that the EBR chain doesn't jump

FYI; I'm going to push this because it's such an obvious fix. Rich.
