Which version of libguestfs is this? I think you'll have no hope of
#rpm -qa |
grep libguestfs
libguestfs-1.20.8-1
libguestfs-tools-c-1.20.8-1
getting upstream libguestfs to run on RHEL 5. There is a branch
Yes. The upstream maybe be involving in libvirtd, you know, there is
no libvirtd on RHEL5
('oldlinux') which may still work:
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commits/oldlinux
I will try it.
By the way, the libguestfs src can't build one available base.img and
daemon.img.
#ll /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/
total 1752
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1536 Sep 27 14:39 base.img <----- it can't work.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1760768 Sep 27 14:39 daemon.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10772 Sep 27 14:39 hostfiles
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4608 Sep 27 14:39 init.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2048 Sep 27 14:39 udev-rules.img
