You can email libguestfs@redhat.com (no need to subscribe). The instructions for compiling

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. [1] Open Virtualization Archive (OVA) [2] Virtual Machine Disk (VMDK) [3] Virtual Hard Disk (VHD/VHDX) [4] raw Also

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 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:

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.

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

Hi, List, I''m trying xl create a pv guest with qcow/qcow2 image, it always fails at libxl_device_disk_local_attach. #xl create pv_config_file libxl: error: libxl.c:1119:libxl_device_disk_local_attach: cannot locally attach a qdisk image if the format is not raw libxl: error: libxl_create.c:467:do_domain_create: failed to run bootloader: -3 disk configuration is: disk=[

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

Hi, I'm using virsh to instance a VM in my environment, but I'm running on some issues. I created the following domain file: <domain type='kvm'> <name>demovm</name> <uuid>4a9b3f53-fa2a-47f3-a757-dd87720d9d1d</uuid> <memory unit='KiB'>4194304</memory> <currentMemory

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, So I've been hacking together an nbdkit plugin (similar to the "file" plugin, but it splits the file up into chunks): https://github.com/pepaslabs/nbdkit-chunks-plugin I got it to the point of being a working prototype. Then I threw it onto a raspberry pi, which it turns out only has a 50/50 shot of fallocate() working correctly. I'm checking the return code of

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.

I am trying to find out if Virtual Manager or qemu directly can take a Hyper v vhdx file and use it "as is"... I desire to not boot windows, update the vhdx image I have created, etc... I'd rather just have the vhdx image sitting on linux, boot the virtual manager with the vhdx file, update what I need to update and shut back down. Is that possible ? Thanks, Jerry

Any Virtualbox on CentOS guru's out there? I only have 1 VM on my linux host. in the update process to virtualbox 6.1.16 my config was lost. When I run Virtualbox my VM does not show.
