libguestfs.git/daemon, branch 1.2.6

Fix error message in strings-e command (RHBZ#588651).

(cherry picked from commit 287f8957fea3efe411c7ac55595d5d6c7b613e4e
and modified to apply to the stable branch.  Note that the original
commit message contains a typo 'string-e' instead of 'strings-e')

Run udev_settle() after swapon/swapoff (RHBZ#516096).

daemon: gnulib module 'error' is used directly by the daemon.

daemon: Fix read-file so it fails gracefully for large files (RHBZ#589039).

2010-05-14T16:06:06+00:00

Pengzhen Cao noticed that read-file would fail for files
larger than the protocol size; this is *not* the bug.  However
it would also lose protocol synchronization after this.

The reason was that functions which return RBufferOut in the
generator must not 'touch' the *size_r parameter along error
return paths.

I fixed read-file and initrd-cat, and I checked that pread was
doing the right thing.

This also adds regression tests for read-file with various categories
of large file.

Change network configuration to use macros.

2010-05-14T15:59:45+00:00

Change the network configuration so everything is set using
some macros at the top of src/guestfs.c.

Also, rename the macros used in the daemon so they are not the
same.  It was a very long time since these sets of macros had to
match the ones defined in src/guestfs.c, despite what the comment
said.

Note that this commit should not change the semantics of the
program at all.

lvresize: Use --force so it can make LVs smaller (RHBZ#587484).

2010-04-30T16:38:11+00:00

This also adds a regression test for this bug.

daemon: Split out checksum type to program name mapping into function.

2010-04-23T16:10:07+00:00

This shouldn't change the semantics of the program.

For stable-1.2 this was cherry picked from commit af29c84 and
rebased against the older code in daemon/checksum.c.

Improved checking, documentation of modes (RHBZ#582901, RHBZ#582929).

2010-04-20T07:43:42+00:00

chmod: Disallow negative mode, document mode affected by umask.

mkdir-mode: Disallow negative mode, document that filesystems
may interpret the mode in different ways.

mknod: Disallow negative mode, document mode affected by umask.

umask: Check the range of umask mask value carefully.

New partition APIs: part_del, part_get_bootable, part_get/set_mbr_id

2010-04-12T18:07:12+00:00

These APIs flesh out further the partitioning API.

Note for stable-1.2 branch:
Cherry picked from b68c030adfdbefe65bc9 and modified
to apply against stable-1.2.  We need these new APIs
in order to support bugfixes in virt-resize.

daemon: More reliable parsing of the output from 'parted print'.

2010-04-12T18:04:13+00:00

Previously we used strtok.  However this has the problem that
strtok considers multiple delimiter characters to be like a single
delimiter, eg. "1:::2" would be parsed the same as "1:2".  In
other words, the previous code would skip over or fail if there
are empty fields.
