NBD — Network Block Device — is a protocol for accessing Block Devices (hard disks and disk-like things) over a Network. nbdkit is a toolkit for creating NBD servers. The key features are: * Multithreaded NBD server written in C with good performance. * Minimal dependencies for the basic server. * Liberal license (BSD) allows nbdkit to be linked to proprietary libraries or included in

I've pushed a few commits which fix various aspects of the build and may improve things for you: commit d5ce9c91469d3d384aa32735453a1f8a20d4ec25 Author: Richard W.M.

I feel it's been many months since we had a stable release and we've added some significant new features in that time, notably support for v2v to OpenStack. If you have anything that you'd like to get in before 1.40 then let me know by following up. On my list are just two items: * virt-v2v documentation refactoring Preliminary patch posted here:

Looks good (apart from patch 3 - the Gc.compact is necessary!) I'm just running the tests and will push it later if that goes well. Thanks, Rich. -- Richard Jones,

Virt-v2v is a program for converting virtual machines to run on KVM, ones imported from other hypervisors like VMware, Xen and more, and with the companion tool virt-p2v from physical machines too. I'm pleased to announce the release of virt-v2v 1.42. This is a new stable branch. Significantly the tool is now released separately and on a different schedule from libguestfs. Manual:

Even though the current stable branch is 1.4.x[1] I'm not going to leave the 1.2.x branch to completely wither. I will still pull in any more serious bug fixes into the 1.2.x branch and make an occasional release. Therefore I have released 1.4.1 and 1.2.10 which contain a small number of bug fixes. If you are using earlier 1.4.x or 1.2.x versions, and if you simply want a more stable

Killall does nothing the process is still alive... If I do kill -9, do I get a core dump ? Each time I got this hang, I find only umount -f /tmp/xxxx to force qemu-img to stop.
