New tool: virt-list-filesystems
Use this program as a convenient way to list the filesystems
available in a disk image or libvirt guest.
Example:
$ virt-list-filesystems /dev/vg_trick/Debian5x64
/dev/debian5x64/home
/dev/debian5x64/root
/dev/debian5x64/tmp
/dev/debian5x64/usr
/dev/debian5x64/var
/dev/sda1
This is designed to make it easier for novices to use guestfish
and guestmount. In particular with guestmount this acts as a way
to get a list of filesystems to use with the '-m' option. ie:
$ virt-list-filesystems unknowndisk.img
/dev/sda1
/dev/sda2
$ guestmount -a unknowndisk.img -m /dev/sda1 /mnt
