(Sorry, Rich, I managed to miss reply-all.) These VMDK files are difference files from a baseline VMDK file. I'm not familiar with ESX's storage, but the size indicators on these tell me they aren't raw. For a virtual disk that has 3.2GB of data in its current state, against 3.0GB of data in its baseline, the current state's .vmdk file is 200MB. --Alex On Mon, Jun 10, 2013 at

Thanks, I have pushed this. There are various other projects using a similar/derived POD wrapper script, so I have pushed the same patch to those too. https://github.com/libguestfs/libnbd/commit/2a955696cde1be60d468fdc662b4f70ec862b866 https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/d58c4e79d8a282b68ba9a19b944289bd66c8d648

[Stefan asked an interesting question on IRC about how / whether it is possible to use libguestfs remotely. The answer is too detailed for IRC] Consider this model of the libguestfs architecture[i]: (2) libguestfs (3) Linux (1) API protocol syscalls program <--------> libguestfs <--------> qemu <-------->

I've used QEMU to read .vmdk snapshots. The VM directory layout in my case (Fusion, and I've seen Workstation do the same) created a .vmdk file per snapshot, and qemu-img could use that .vmdk file and the base .vmdk to convert the disk image to a raw image. IIRC there is a manifest file that ties .vmdk files to the snapshot they represent. So, from my experience, qemu does read disk

The former libguestfs.org website was running on an old server in a cellar with "Beware of the Leopard" on the door. The server was overdue for retirement and is about to be decommissioned. I have moved and split up the hosting as follows: * The main website http://libguestfs.org is on a temporary server. The medium term plan is to move it to Openshift, but I've been having a

I have made available a Python package for the current stable branch version of libguestfs: http://libguestfs.org/download/python/ If you need to use libguestfs from Python this way, you can do so like this: pip install http://libguestfs.org/download/python/guestfs-1.32.6.tar.gz A few caveats: - You should probably not use these packages. Use the python-libguestfs package provided by

Just a friendly reminder that RHEL 7.4 preview packages of libguestfs and virt-v2v are available. You should be able to use them on top of either RHEL 7.3 or CentOS 7.3. http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-RHEL-7.4-preview/ Instructions below.
