* New APIs: Support for creating LUKS and managing keys.Richard Jones2010-07-221-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds four APIs for creating new LUKS devices and key management. These are: luks_format Format a LUKS device with the default cipher. luks_format_cipher Format with a chosen cipher. luks_add_key Add another key to an existing device. luks_kill_slot Delete a key from an existing device. This enables all the significant functionality of the cryptsetup luks* commands. Note that you can obtain the UUID of a LUKS device already by using vfs-uuid. This also includes a regression test covering all the LUKS functions.
* New APIs: Support for opening LUKS-encrypted disks.Richard Jones2010-07-211-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds support for opening LUKS-encrypted disks, via three new APIs: luks_open: Create a mapping for an encrypted disk. luks_open_ro: Same, but read-only mapping. luks_close: Close a mapping. A typical guestfish session using this functionality looks like this: $ guestfish --ro -a encrypted.img ><fs> run ><fs> list-devices /dev/vda ><fs> list-partitions /dev/vda1 /dev/vda2 ><fs> vfs-type /dev/vda2 crypto_LUKS ><fs> luks-open /dev/vda2 luksdev Enter key or passphrase ("key"): ><fs> vgscan ><fs> vg-activate-all true ><fs> pvs /dev/dm-0 ><fs> vgs vg_f13x64encrypted ><fs> lvs /dev/vg_f13x64encrypted/lv_root /dev/vg_f13x64encrypted/lv_swap ><fs> mount /dev/vg_f13x64encrypted/lv_root / ><fs> ll / total 132 dr-xr-xr-x. 24 root root 4096 Jul 21 12:01 . dr-xr-xr-x 20 root root 0 Jul 21 20:06 .. drwx------. 3 root root 4096 Jul 21 11:59 .dbus drwx------. 2 root root 4096 Jul 21 12:00 .pulse -rw-------. 1 root root 256 Jul 21 12:00 .pulse-cookie dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 May 13 03:03 bin NOT included in this patch: - An easier way to use this from guestfish. - Ability to create LUKS devices. - Ability to change LUKS keys on existing devices. - Direct access to the /dev/mapper device (eg. if it contains anything apart from VGs).

| | | | | | | | | | | | The BufferIn argument turns into various things: in C const char *, size_t parameter pair in XDR an opaque<> type (instead of string) which allows \0 chars in other bindings mostly just a string, since most languages except for C permit strings to contain any 8 bit data

* FUSE filesystem support.Richard Jones2009-11-031-26/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements FUSE filesystem support so that any libguestfs- accessible disk image can be mounted as a local filesystem. Note: file writes (ie. write(2) system call) is not yet implemented. The API needs more test coverage, particularly lesser-used system calls. The big unresolved issue is UID/GID mapping between guest filesystem IDs and the host. It's not easy to automate this because you need extra details about the guest itself in order to get to its UID->username map (eg. /etc/passwd from the guest).
* New API calls: truncate, truncate_size, mkdir_mode, utimens, lchown.Richard Jones2009-11-021-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | truncate, truncate_size: Used to truncate files to a particular size, or to zero bytes. mkdir_mode: Like mkdir but allows you to also specify the initial permissions for the new directory. utimens: Set timestamp on a file with nanosecond accuracy. lchown: Corresponding to lchown(2) syscall (we already have chown). The implementation is complicated by the fact that we had to add an Int64 parameter type to the generator.
* Add 'virt-rescue' command.Richard Jones2009-09-231-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* Remove guestfs_wait_ready (turn it into a no-op).Richard Jones2009-09-211-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit changes guestfs_launch so that it both launches the appliance and waits until it is ready (ie. the daemon communicates back to us). Since we removed the pretence that we could implement a low-level asynchronous API, the need to call launch() followed by wait_ready() has looked a bit silly. Now guestfs_wait_ready() is basically a no-op. It is left in the API for backwards compatibility. Any calls to guestfs_wait_ready() can be removed from client code.
