回复： guestfs_mount_local* api undefined symbols

Thank you Rich, I checked the version and found that it printed an old 1.17.17 version which was deployed before. But I remembered i did check the version in guestfish shell and it said 1.17.40 before that，then i totally ignored the fact i had another version involved. I`ve changed the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the "undefined symbol" error disappeared.But some "inspection API not available because of compiled without hivex library" pops up.I`ll check this out later. thank you again ;) Nok ------------------ 原始邮件 ------------------ 发件人: "Richard W.M.

The symptoms sound like you're compiling your program against libguestfs 1.17.40, but you're running your program against an earlier libguestfs library (maybe the one installed in RHEL 6?). > make install > > http://pastebin.com/EExzKbNa This installs libguestfs in /usr/local. The one from RHEL 6 will be in /usr. You might want to set 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' so that the program uses the /usr/local copy, ie: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./prog By the way, it's not necessarily safe to mix'n'match libraries, daemons and appliances like you're trying to do here. The protocol used between the library and the daemon has changed since RHEL 6.2. If you are using libguestfs 1.16.19 (from [1]) then it'll probably work for the majority of features. Earlier versions, probably not. If you don't want to compile the right daemon + appliance on RHEL 6, you can copy an appliance from a Fedora 17+ machine. See the instructions here: http://libguestfs.org/libguestfs-make-fixed-appliance.1.html http://libguestfs.org/download/binaries/appliance/ Also you can modify your program so it prints out the version of libguestfs that it's using: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#guestfs_version #include <stdio.h> #include <inttypes.h> #include <guestfs.h> //... guestfs_h *g = guestfs_create (); struct guestfs_version *vers = guestfs_version (g); printf ("version = %" PRIi64 ".%" PRIi64 ".%" PRIi64 ".%s", vers->major, vers->minor, vers->release, vers->extra); Rich.

guestfs_mount_local* api undefined symbols
by Nok 10 May '12

10 May '12

Recently i deployed latest 1.17.40 on rhel6.1. When i ran a tiny program which was to test the function guestfs_mount_local() or those similar functions that mounts locally, Error prompted—undefined symbol guest_mount_local ! Why didn`t this undefined symbol error prompt when the program was first compiled,but occurred when it was run? Then i gave guestfish mount local a try in the shell, and found that ok.I thought it could not be something wrong with the installation.And then wierd happened—i ran the previous test program again,and it did mount the vm image on the host local directory! I doubted whether this was repeatable so i ran it again,and it failed with the same error “undefined symbol guestfs_mount_local”.

Writing policy for guestfsd in libguestfs live
by Richard W.M. Jones 09 May '12

09 May '12

Dan(s), I hope you can give us some advice on this. Background: guestfsd is a guest agent. Normally it runs inside a special appliance; that's *not* the case that I'm worried about. There's also another mode where you can run guestfsd inside a regular Fedora or RHEL guest, and it handles instructions from the host to perform filesystem operations. The mode is called 'libguestfs live'[1][2] and architecturally it looks like this: +-------------------------+ | Fedora/RHEL guest | | | | guestfsd (agent) | qemu/KVM +------^------------------+ | Host | (virtio serial channel) v libguestfs (library) some program using libguestfs, eg. guestfish, a virt tool If you want to try it, install 'libguestfs-live-service' in a Fedora guest, edit the guest XML as per instructions in [2], and on the host do: guestfish --live -d FedoraGuest and try sending (non-destructive) commands to the guest agent. Currently guestfsd is a monolithic daemon, so if you choose to run it in your guest, then it can do pretty much anything in the libguestfs API, which is a shorthand way of saying it can do pretty much anything, eg. reading and writing any guest file, executing any program, creating and deleting guest partitions, creating and deleting guest LVs ... The expected scenario is that the guest is controlled by the same authority as the host, but possibly in future we'll have to find a way to limit what guestfsd can do (via a configuration file). The questions are: (a) Can we meaningfully write an SELinux policy to confine guestfsd? For example if guestfsd were to be included as a separate package in RHEL, which it might be for RHEL 6.4. (b) Can we change the design of guestfsd (within reason) to make it simpler to write SELinux policy for guestfsd, and if so how? (c) Is there any sort of privilege separation design that would make sense here (cf. Privilege-separated OpenSSH). Rich.

Am I missing something ? There's no 'virt-p2v' binary as such.
