in fact, it was vhd and not hvd. if I understand correctly, guestmount uses qemu to allow the host to access the contents of the virtual machine disk : it makes it live to access its disk ? thank you for answering. 2018-06-28 16:30 GMT+02:00 Richard W.M.

hello, I would only like to have guestmount in my toolkit to read-only vhd/vhdx images, so I try to compile libguestfs with a minimum of dependencies. I downloaded the 1.38-stable sources, installed the necessary dependencies and compiled them with the command : ./configure --disable-ocaml --disable-perl --disable-ruby --disable-haskell --disable-php --disable-erlang --disable-lua

Hi ALL, Sorry for this if it is a stupid question, but: Is it possible to native boot centos from a VHD/VHDX file in a similar way to Windows 8.1? I am hoping to dual 'native' boot Windows 8.1 and CentOS; but then I want to Image the disk to deploy it to other classroom machines. Any help advice would be appreciated. I've had an unsuccessful play with easybcd's neogrub; and I

Hi, Is there a way to backup KVM Guest VM running CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core) OS in kvmguestosimage.ova or kvmguestosimage.vmdk format as I am trying to restore it in AWS by referring to https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/vm-import/ article as per the below supported file format.

I am trying to mount a windows 10 backup .vhdx file. I installed libguestfs through ```sudo apt-get install libguestfs-tools``` I am running Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS and this is the installed version: ```1:1.36.13-1ubuntu3.2``` This is the output of the command I ran: ``` ~$ guestmount --add Documents/8be29c38-0000-0000-0000-602200000000.vhdx --inspector --ro /media/Windows10/ libguestfs: trace:

Thanks for the reply. The idea of using a VHD(X) was to enable use to use disk imaging tools such as ghost, wds etc to deploy images of this type of system to over 500 machines. We have not found an imaging solutions that can image and deploy via multicast a system set up in the standard way you describe.

Add ''-C'' (nocow) option to vhd-util create. Btrfs has terrible performance when hosting VM images, even more when the guest in those VM are also using btrfs as file system. One way to mitigate this bad performance is to turn off COW attributes on VM files (since having copy on write for this kind of data is not useful). According to ''chattr'' manpage, NOCOW

I am trying to take a CentOS 7 img and get hyperv to boot. First step. qemu-img convert "CentOS7.img" -O vhdx -o subformat=dynamic "CentOS7.vhdx" after adding new hyper-v I get dracut-timeout... So doing some searching it says add hv_vmbus hv_netvsc hv_storvsc to INITRD_MODULES. which doesnt really exist any more in CentOS 7. I did find /etc/dracut.conf and add_drivers... I

Using VM's was a suggestion I put forward but some of our staff didn't like the idea! We can't virtualise Windows as we run many CAD and Media app's that require high end graphics card utilisation. The Linux image is mainly used for coding type activities and so virtualising that would seem sensible - unfortunately that is not my call.. Regards Darren Williams -----Original

Hello! We are planning to migrate our iSCSI installation (LUN based) to one NFS installation (based in images). iSCSI offers great performance, but we have many dom0s and domUs and the management is difficult (many LUNS, many multipath messages, ...). (We are using Debian Wheezy with Xen 4.1.2) I have some questions: -What formats of disk images support Xen? I have not found support for

Hi, I'm trying to expose a linux share via Samba4 to serve as a VM backing store (storage) for HyperV VMs running on Win2012 R2 Standard server. The system details are: Intel(R) Xeon CPU. 64 bit operating system. I'm not sure if SMB3 is fully supported by Samba 4(codebase corresponds to "master" git branch). The VM deployment fails while trying to create *.vhdx file; the error

Hi, I'm using SolusVM control panel to create KVM VPS. Suddenly, I can't make any VPS on Host-Node. Their build log says the SolusVM can't read the libguestfs in server. During the debug, I've tried to mount existing VPS using guestmount command and I can't mount the KVM image. Please check here. [root@msv07 /]# guestmount -i -a /dev/msv07data/kvm139_img /mnt libguestfs:

I'm wondering whether or not anyone has tried to use guestmount on an image with a ZFS partition (MBR partition table). I can't seem to find much on the internet regarding it, but I do see hints that may lead me to a solution. I'm under the impression that libguestfs can use what ever is available to the kernel on the host -- in my case I have zfs-use installed and running. I

Hi Ashok, That solved this issue and moved ahead of that IPC$ share access issue. Thanks for that. Now, I am seeing the below error. Please note I am new to samba world. Pardon me if I am asking for more. Meanwhile I too will check smb.conf online doc and my smb.conf for any conflicting configurations.
