Add 'virt-rescue' command.
This command runs a "rescue appliance" against a virtual machine
or disk image. This is useful for making ad-hoc interactive
changes to virtual machines.
$ virt-rescue --ro /dev/vg_trick/F11x64
Welcome to virt-rescue, the libguestfs rescue shell.
Note: The contents of / are the rescue appliance.
You have to mount the guest's partitions under /sysroot
before you will be able to examine them.
bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device
bash: no job control in this shell
