[guestfs-tools PATCH 0/2] sysprep: full disk encryption improvements
by Laszlo Ersek
Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2106286
The first patch extends our support for LUKS-on-LVM a bit.
The second patch explains why the functionality from the first patch
should not be relied upon.

A few Coverity errors in nbdkit
by Richard W.M. Jones
Hi Eric,
None of this is important, and may not even be bugs, but here are a
few issues raised with the latest run of Coverity on nbdkit 1.30.7.
**********************************************************************

It seems as if "group_vector" is really leaked from this filter. I
think it needs an unload handler to free it.

I think Coverity has a point here. Certainly there is code before
this point which assigns conn->top_context = NULL, and it's not
immediately clear to me that the code that Coverity has highlighted is
unreachable in that case.

Error ret=-1 with EINTR in nbd_connect_systemd_socket_activation()
by Motohiro Kawahito
Hi, I'd like to connect to an encrypted QCOW2 file by nbd_connect_systemd_socket_activation(), but I got ret=-1 with EINTR. In our program, signals are frequently occurred, so I think this is the background of the problem. Could you advise me what should I do next? (such as open issue in https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/libnbd or something).
The arg parameter I used is
qemu-nbd --object secret,id=sec0,data=abc123 --image-opts driver=qcow2,encrypt.format=luks,encrypt.key-secret=sec0,file.filename=/tmp/empty.qcow2
One more problem is that this qemu-nbd process still remains when error occurred.
I also attached a test program below. Is there any problem in my test program? The version of qemu-nbd is
$ qemu-nbd -V
qemu-nbd 4.2.1 (Debian 1:4.2-3ubuntu6.23)
I created this encrypted QCOW2 image by the following command.
qemu-img create --object secret,id=sec0,data=abc123 -f qcow2 -o encrypt.format=luks,encrypt.key-secret=sec0 /tmp/empty.qcow2 8539292672
Here is a test program I made. I found that this error occurred even for a normal QCOW2 file (not encrypted one). If you need more information, please let me know.

[v2v PATCH 0/2] input-xen: SSH authentication documentation improvements
by Laszlo Ersek
Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1854275
Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2062360
The input-xen documentation currently recommends a system-wide crypto
policy downgrade (to LEGACY) for connecting to RHEL5 sshd. Replace the
recommendation with the individual ssh options that enable this kind of
connection.
While investigating this (for RHBZ#2062360), I found that, for
RHBZ#1854275, I had missed a call chain in virt-v2v where libvirt
launched "ssh", and therefore the "-ip" option would be relevant.
Because "-ip" does not work there, first copy the respective caveat from
the input-vmware documentation to input-xen.
Thanks
Laszlo

EVE-NG - VM - Compression
by Jaime Rodriguez
Hello Team,
I am trying to compress a windows 10VM on Eve-ng with the 'virt-sparsify'.
Initial Command Run: virt-sparsify --compress virtioa.qcow2
compressedvirtioa.qcow2
Added debugging and ran again with '-v -x' parameters to get output.
Please see the attached file.
