I'm just about to release libguestfs 1.20. This appendix covers
issues specific to Fedora 18.
Fedora 18 defaults to using the libvirt attach-method, meaning that
libvirt is used to create and manage the libguestfs appliance. There
are several benefits to this (see the full release notes). You can
switch back to the ordinary method (directly running qemu) at any time
by doing:
export LIBGUESTFS_ATTACH_METHOD=appliance
There is a bug in libvirt (or perhaps libnl, or somewhere else) which
causes libvirtd to segfault occasionally:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=875741
This is jus a dup of the other similar BZ you filed
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=886454
The flaw is netcf, using libnl APIs that are not threadsafe. It is trivially
demonstrated by just having 2 threads call netcf_init/netcf_close in
parallel
