From 1b21ed4f5d9307e87fad094ec177c90d5adb91ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Jones Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:50:21 +0100 Subject: 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 > 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 > ls /sysroot/ bin dev home lib64 media opt root selinux sys usr boot etc lib lost+found mnt proc sbin srv tmp var > exit --- HACKING | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'HACKING') diff --git a/HACKING b/HACKING index 7156bf70..a051d8a9 100644 --- a/HACKING +++ b/HACKING @@ -122,6 +122,9 @@ python/ regressions/ Regression tests. +rescue/ + The virt-rescue tool. + ruby/ Ruby bindings. -- cgit
