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 ><rescue> mount /dev/vg_f11x64/lv_root /sysroot EXT4-fs (dm-0): barriers enabled kjournald2 starting: pid 269, dev dm-0:8, commit interval 5 seconds EXT4-fs (dm-0): internal journal on dm-0:8 EXT4-fs (dm-0): delayed allocation enabled EXT4-fs: file extents enabled EXT4-fs: mballoc enabled EXT4-fs (dm-0): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode ><rescue> ls /sysroot/ bin dev home lib64 media opt root selinux sys usr boot etc lib lost+found mnt proc sbin srv tmp var ><rescue> exit
