* fuse: Add more tracing for calls into guestmount functions.Richard W.M. Jones2010-12-191-1/+1

* New tool: virt-filesystemsRichard W.M. Jones2010-11-231-2/+2
| | | | | | | | This tool replaces virt-list-filesystems and virt-list-partitions with a new tool written in C with a more uniform command line structure and output. This existing Perl tools are deprecated but remain indefinitely.
* fish: Add --rw option (does nothing yet).Richard W.M. Jones2010-11-081-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | This adds the guestfish --rw option, intended in future to be required for writing to disk images. At the moment this does not change the default and so does nothing. This patch is intended for backporting to the stable branches so that we can start to introduce scripts which use 'guestfish --rw'.
* fish: '-i' option automatically handles whole-disk encryption.Richard W.M. Jones2010-11-051-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | This feature is also available in guestmount because of the shared option parsing code. You don't need to do anything to enable it, just using -i will attempt decryption of encrypted partitions. Only works for simple Fedora whole-disk encryption. It's a work-in-progress to make it work for other types of encryption.
* Unify guestfish and guestmount options processing (RHBZ#642932).Richard W.M. Jones2010-10-271-21/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In guestfish, factor out the processing of the options -a, -c, -d, -i, -m, -n, -r, -v, -V, -x into a separate set of files: options.c, options.h, inspect.c, virt.c. Change guestmount so that it uses these same files (from the ../fish directory) to process the same options. This unifies the handling of these options between the two programs. It also adds the useful inspection feature to guestmount, so you can now do: guestmount -d Guest -i --ro mnt/
* fuse: Add --format option to docs (RHBZ#642934,CVE-2010-3851).Richard W.M. Jones2010-10-231-0/+15
| | | | | | This updates commit 44c5ee1163918bd5c9e6aa6c292f0c3bb15b7b25. Document the --format option in the guestmount manual page.
* New tool: virt-list-filesystemsRichard Jones2009-11-241-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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

* FUSE filesystem support.Richard Jones2009-11-031-0/+205
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).
