Re: [Libguestfs] libguestfs and md devices

Here's a way to do some tests (assuming libguestfs from git which has the mdadm package): $ rm /tmp/test1.img /tmp/test2.img $ truncate -s 1G /tmp/test1.img /tmp/test2.img $ ./run ./rescue/virt-rescue -a /tmp/test1.img -a /tmp/test2.img [At this point you have to switch to another terminal and kill the rogue 'sed' and/or 'grep' processes launched by libtool -- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=729052] 1073729536 Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 vdb[1] vda[0] 1048564 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU] unused devices: <none> Oddly this allocates all the space on the second disk, but not the first: $ du -sh /tmp/test1.img /tmp/test2.img 33M /tmp/test1.img 1.0G /tmp/test2.img Then try it in guestfish (add the -v option for more detail): $ ./run ./fish/guestfish -a /tmp/test1.img -a /tmp/test2.img linux_raid_member Like you, I don't see any /dev/md0 device (but also I don't see any weird names either). Does md need a daemon of some sort?
