* Document that guestfs_mount implies -o sync and performance problem ↵Richard Jones2010-04-301-3/+14
| | | | (RHBZ#587582).
* lvresize: Use --force so it can make LVs smaller (RHBZ#587484).Richard Jones2010-04-301-1/+8
| | | | This also adds a regression test for this bug.
* New API: checksums-out for checksumming many files.Richard Jones2010-04-231-1/+19
| | | | Useful API for verifying the integrity of virtual machines.
* generator: Update docs for checksum to point to checksum-device.Richard Jones2010-04-231-1/+3
|
* docs: Clarify documentation for mknod (RHBZ#582948).Richard Jones2010-04-191-0/+8
|
* New APIs: base64-in and base64-out for uploading/downloading base64 content.Richard Jones2010-04-191-0/+16
|
* New API: debug-upload (not a formal part of the API/ABI).Richard Jones2010-04-191-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | Allow arbitrary files to be uploaded into the appliance, but only when --enable-debug-command is enabled. This lets you run shell scripts, like this: ><fs> debug-upload -<<EOF /tmp/script.sh 0700 #!/bin/sh - # ... EOF ><fs> debug sh "/tmp/script.sh"
* fish: Allow -<<END as a syntax for uploading "heredocs".Richard Jones2010-04-191-10/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | For example: ><fs> upload -<<END /foo some data some more data END ><fs> cat /foo some data some more data
* Documentation: Use 'g' instead of 'handle' in documentation.Richard Jones2010-04-171-3/+3
| | | | | By convention we use 'g' for handles. Copy this convention through to all the documentation.
* generator: Use shortname in check_state() call.Richard Jones2010-04-171-1/+2
| | | | Saves a tiny bit of space in the library.
* Fix upload losing synchronization if root not mounted (RHBZ#576879).Richard Jones2010-04-171-13/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | Modify the generator so that it can correctly handle early cancellation for Pathname|Device|.. parameters. This fixes the upload command, but consequently we need to fix the parameters for tar_in and t?z_in commands. This should also mean that 'win:' can now be used as the second argument of tar_in and t?z_in commands in guestfish, whereas previously this wouldn't have worked. Adds a regression test for the original problem.
* generator: Fix typo in a comment.Richard Jones2010-04-171-1/+1
|
* Improved checking, documentation of modes (RHBZ#582901, RHBZ#582929).Richard Jones2010-04-171-6/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | chmod: Disallow negative mode, document mode affected by umask. mkdir-mode: Disallow negative mode, document that filesystems may interpret the mode in different ways. mknod: Disallow negative mode, document mode affected by umask. umask: Check the range of umask mask value carefully.
* New API: get-umask, returns the current umask (RHBZ#582891).Richard Jones2010-04-171-1/+10
|
* Add a build test for the 'umask' command.Richard Jones2010-04-171-3/+2
|
* fish: Print output from some commands in octal/hex as approp. (RHBZ#583242).Richard Jones2010-04-171-5/+33
|
* Documentation: lvcreate should say 'logical volume' (RHBZ#582953)Richard Jones2010-04-171-2/+2
|
* New API: Add aug-clear call for clearing an Augeas node.Richard Jones2010-04-131-1/+13
|
* New API: lvresize-free to extend LVs into percentage of free space.Richard Jones2010-04-121-0/+15
|
* New API: checksum-device for checksumming devices.Richard Jones2010-04-101-0/+10
| | | | Analogous to the usual 'checksum' call.
* New partition APIs: part_del, part_get_bootable, part_get/set_mbr_idRichard Jones2010-04-101-0/+55
| | | | These APIs flesh out further the partitioning API.
* Documentation: Clarify documentation on the bootable flag.Richard Jones2010-04-101-4/+3
|
* New API: vgscanRichard Jones2010-04-101-0/+8
| | | | | Implement vgscan to allow for a full rescan of all LVM PVs, VGs and LVs.
* New API: ntfsresize.Richard Jones2010-04-101-0/+8
| | | | | This implements the ntfsresize operation, using the external program from ntfsprogs.
* New API calls to upload/download txz files (RHBZ#580556).Richard Jones2010-04-081-2/+20
|
* fish: Print extended help when the user types an unknown command first.Richard Jones2010-04-071-0/+2
| | | | | | | | $ guestfish /tmp/disk.img /tmp/disk.img: unknown command Did you mean to open a disk image? guestfish -a disk.img For a list of commands: guestfish -h For complete documentation: man guestfish
* New API: guestfs_zero_device to zero whole devices.Richard Jones2010-03-311-1/+10
|
* tests: Move alarm(2) calls to the correct place in the tests.Richard Jones2010-03-271-3/+3
| | | | This is a re-fix for RHBZ#505329.
* appliance: Set $PATH instead of hard-coding paths to binaries everywhere.Richard Jones2010-03-261-1/+1
| | | | | | Change the appliance so PATH includes common directories. Thus we don't need to hard-code paths to binaries (eg. "/sbin/fdisk") everywhere.
* perl: use newSVpvn for variable length strings.Richard Jones2010-03-251-3/+3
| | | | | | | Previously we used newSVpv (str, len), but if len == 0 then this means Perl tries to calculate the string length using strlen(3). This is not desirable when we know the length, in which case we should use newSVpvn instead.
* New API: guestfs_copy_size to copy a fixed number of bytes.Richard Jones2010-03-231-1/+14
| | | | | | | This is similar to 'guestfs_dd', but it copies just a fixed number of bytes from the source to the destination. It's an error if the source is too short or if the destination is too small.
* Mac OS X: implement readline functions.Richard Jones2010-03-221-3/+12
| | | | | OS X has an older version of readline with some differences in the names of functions.
* Mac OS X: include <string.h> in guestfs-actions.cRichard Jones2010-03-221-0/+1
| | | | This is required because guestfs-actions.c uses 'memset'.
* generator: Small fix for GODI users.Richard Jones2010-03-221-0/+1
| | | | | GODI has an odd package layout, so the generator was unable to find xml-light. Add the GODI directory to the search path.
* New APIs: Query the relationship between LVM objects.Richard Jones2010-03-181-0/+42
| | | | | | | | | These calls allow you to query the relationship between LVM objects, for example, which PVs contain a VG, or which LVs are contained in a VG. See the example / test program 'regressions/test-lvm-mapping.pl' for an example of how to do this from Perl.
* add_drive_ro adds readonly=on option if available.Richard Jones2010-03-161-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the add_drive_ro call so it adds the readonly=on option if qemu supports that. This just means that qemu will not try to open the drive with O_RDWR, and should not otherwise change the behaviour of qemu or libguestfs. (In particular, writes to the read-only drive are still permitted, and are just discarded when the handle is closed). However it should alleviate RHBZ#571714 where udev was deciding to incorrectly relabel a device because we had opened the device for writing (even though we didn't actually write to it).
* Allow qemu_supports to run earlier.Richard Jones2010-03-161-1/+9
| | | | | | | Reimplement qemu_supports() internal function. Allow it to run before launch so we can test qemu features. Document that you should run guestfs_set_qemu as early as possible to make sure these tests are reliable.
* Tab to space (whitespace fixes only).Richard Jones2010-03-121-82/+82
|
* guestfish: Use xstrtoll to parse Int params (RHBZ#569757 RHBZ#567567).Richard Jones2010-03-121-1/+1
| | | | | | Change guestfish so it uses xstrtoll to parse Int (31 bit) parameters. This fixes two bugs on 32 bit platforms which failed when long = 32 bits. long long = 64 bits on both.
* Turn ProtocolLimitWarning into link to documentation section.Richard Jones2010-02-151-2/+1
|
* initrd-cat: Needs ProtocolLimitWarning.Richard Jones2010-02-151-1/+1
|
* Remove references to FTP, replace with FUSE.Richard Jones2010-02-151-6/+7
| | | | | | | We originally intended to implement an FTP server (and before than, an NFS server). But we didn't implement either. We did however implement a FUSE service (guestmount) which takes the place of both.
* daemon: Don't need to prefix error messages with the command name.Richard Jones2010-02-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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:..)
* generator: Don't prefix error messages with command name.Richard Jones2010-02-121-11/+10
| | | | | | | The command name is already being added by the RPC stubs, so adding it again in Perl and C# just results in doubled error messages like: foo: foo: the error
* New APIs: add-drive{,-ro}-with-if allows you to set QEMU block emulation.Richard Jones2010-02-121-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | The default if=... comes from configure time (currently it defaults to if=virtio). This change allows you to set the QEMU block emulation. We don't think this will be used very often, but virt-v2v requires it in order to work around a subtle problem with running 'mkinitrd' in an appliance attached to a guest.
* generator: 'interface' is a reserved word in Java.Richard Jones2010-02-121-0/+1
|
* add_cdrom: Update docs for adding ISO images.Richard Jones2010-02-121-2/+16
| | | | See also RHBZ#563450 (NB: This commit does not fix the bug).
* Use mount-options instead of mount to avoid implicit -o sync.Richard Jones2010-02-101-17/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | guestfs_mount adds -o sync implicitly. This causes a very large performance problem for write-intensive programs (eg. virt-v2v). Document this as a "gotcha". Change the tests, guestfish, Sys::Guestfs::Lib, guestmount to use mount-options instead. (Note that this gotcha does not affect mount-ro). The source of the performance problem was first identified by Matthew Booth.
* New API call: initrd-cat to list a file from an initrd.Richard Jones2010-02-091-0/+17

* Implement 'vgrename' and 'lvrename' APIs.Richard Jones2010-01-281-0/+20
