Just installed libguestfs-winsupport and ntfs is showing up when running virt-sparsify --machine-readable Cool!!! Thank you very much for replying. Will do virt-sparsify now. It should work now. Thank you again for helping. I was stuck and

Which version of libguestfs-winsupport

Hello! I have a mess with libguestfs-winsupport package. I my repo (centos-7.1-based distro) I have ntfs-3g-2015-3.14 in epel (and not versions anywhere else). I got libguestfs-winsupport-7.1.X but it contains ntfs-3g-2014* and conflicts with epel ntfs-3g (although if I run rpm -ivh --force libguestfs-winsupport, the appliance uses v2015). I found on ~rjones/ libguestfs-winsupport-7.2.1

Hi rjones, Good catch, thanks a lot. Does it only disable from official rhel/centos RPM with `XXXX-RHEL-7-Reject-use-of-libguestfs-winsupport-features-.patch' in libguestfs while it still work in upstream source code ( e.g. rhel-7.2 branch in https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs ) , which option need to enable windows VM ntfs and guestmount command support when i make configure to

Hello，everyone I ran virt-resize(v1.30.4) on my CentOS 7.1 to resize win2008r2 and got the warning message (virt-resize: warning: unknown/unavailable method for expanding the ntfs filesystem on /dev/sda2): >/usr/local/libguestfs-1.30.4/run virt-resize --expand /dev/sda2 /images/win2008_src.raw /dev/vg0/win2008_resize_dst [ 0.0] Examining

I get that libguest not supported mount windows VM image from rhel7.2 now, could you help point that how to compile my own libguestfs with the ntfs support, which option to enable it when make configure with the code ? Thx a lot. http://www.libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.html#mount:-unsupported-filesystem-type-with-ntfs-in-rhel-7.2

Since Linux commit f663b5b38fff trimming vfat is now supported by Linux. This broke the test which assumed it was not supported. Use another filesystem (minix) which does not support trimming instead. Thanks: Daniel P.

Hi! This question emerged during testing of oVirt sparsify integration. oVirt now is able to run virt-sparsify on VM disks. But virt-sparsify seems to have no effect on iSCSI disks. Does virt-sparsify work on iSCSI disks? Maybe in sum situation, with some configuration of iSCSI server, with some specific virt-sparsify options? Shmuel

Use the common function for ensuring a path is absolute; it should not change the behaviour at all. --- sparsify/cmdline.ml | 6 +----- v2v/input_disk.ml | 4 +--- v2v/input_ova.ml | 4 +--- 3 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/sparsify/cmdline.ml b/sparsify/cmdline.ml index 3eb0d5b..523d612 100644 --- a/sparsify/cmdline.ml +++ b/sparsify/cmdline.ml @@ -142,11

In copy mode, make sure to not zero-free-space read-only btrfs snapshots, as we cannot write to them. --- sparsify/copying.ml | 28 +++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 25 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/sparsify/copying.ml b/sparsify/copying.ml index 8d77964..4c23939 100644 --- a/sparsify/copying.ml +++ b/sparsify/copying.ml @@ -208,6 +208,11 @@ You can ignore this warning or

I use my "custom" TMPDIR variable with virt-sparsify. I just type: export -p TMPDIR=/mnt/vm/tmpdir I do that for a couple reasons: either my /tmp is on a ramdisk or /tmp is on my (ssd) rootfs and i dont want to "full" my / with the temporally files. Thats said, i was thinking to "ask" OR sending a patch for adding a tmpdir OPTION for virt-sparsify like

Hello, I am curious why when using virt-sparsify the apparent-size of the file gets reduced to the actual file size? Is there a way to get the apparent-size left as the full size? In the man page for virt-sparsify it has a section on "IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SPARSE OUTPUT IMAGES" and its output seems to indicate what I would expect where "ls -lh" shows the full apparent size
