[PATCH] Fix networking in the appliance

by Matthew Booth

Change 4963be85 re-introduced networking to the appliance, but didn't configure the custom network the appliance expects since we switched to link local addressing. This patch configures QEMU to use the custom network again. --- src/launch.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)

[PATCH] Don't include control characters in BufferIn trace output

by Matthew Booth

Certain API calls, pwrite-device is an example, take a BufferIn as an argument which may contain arbitrary binary data. If trace output is on, we will attempt to print this to the terminal. As well as not working properly due to embedded NUL characters, this can cause problems on the output terminal, is unlikely to be useful, and can't be entered into guestfish in any case. This patch scans BufferIn arguments if trace output is on. If it finds any control characters it will replace the entire string with '<data>' in the trace output. --- generator/generator_c.ml | 23 +++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)

[PATCH] Enable autosync by default.

by Richard W.M. Jones

By a very strict reading, this is an API change. Matt argues (and I agree) that if you really depend on autosync being off by default, then you were depending on the undefined behaviour that happens when you kill the qemu container without first doing sync. ie. Data might or might not have been written, depending on how fast the kernel was writing to disk versus how soon the container got killed. On the other hand, this is a frequent cause of problems when using the API (see http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#libguestfs_gotchas) and changing the default means this problem goes away. You can revert to the old behaviour by adding: guestfs_set_autosync (g, 0); Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines.
