*	appliance: Set $PATH instead of hard-coding paths to binaries everywhere.	Richard Jones	2010-03-26	1	-3/+3
\| \| \| \| \| \|	Change the appliance so PATH includes common directories. Thus we don't need to hard-code paths to binaries (eg. "/sbin/fdisk") everywhere.
*	daemon: Don't need to prefix error messages with the command name.	Richard Jones	2010-02-12	1	-8/+8
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	The RPC stubs already prefix the command name to error messages. The daemon doesn't have to do this. As a (small) benefit this also makes the daemon slightly smaller. Code in the daemon such as: if (argv[0] == NULL) { reply_with_error ("passed an empty list"); return NULL; } now results in error messages like this: ><fs> command "" libguestfs: error: command: passed an empty list (whereas previously you would have seen ..command: command:..)

*	Generic partition creation interface.	Richard Jones	2009-11-10	1	-0/+357
	This commit introduces a generic partition creation interface which should be future-proof and extensible, and partially replaces the old sfdisk-based interface. The implementation is based on parted but is hopefully not too dependent on the particulars of parted. The following new calls are introduced: guestfs_part_init: Initialize a disk with a partition table. Unlike the sfdisk- based interface, we also support GPT and other partition types, which is essential to scale to devices larger than 2TB. guestfs_part_add: Add a partition to an existing disk. guestfs_part_disk: Convenience function which combines part_init & part_add, creating a single partition that covers the whole disk. guestfs_part_set_bootable: guestfs_part_set_name: Set various aspects of existing partitions. guestfs_part_list: List partitions on a device. This returns a programming-friendly list of partition structs (in contrast to sfdisk-l which cannot be parsed). guestfs_part_get_parttype: Return the partition table type, eg. "msdos" or "gpt". The following calls are planned, but not added currently: guestfs_part_get_bootable guestfs_part_get_name guestfs_part_set_type guestfs_part_get_type
