Re: [Libguestfs] Extlinux with guestfish

Thank you for the quick response. Sorry to ask this (I'm a newly graduated engineer and I new to the virtualization world), but how can libguestfs do all of the above?, do you mean it can create all the partitions inside a new lvm volume or a new raw image?? Yes I'm sure that I copied the syslinux.cfg in the guest and that's why I was confused with the error message. My problem is that the exact same steps worked on a ubuntu 14.04 host with libguestfs 1.24.5 , and I can't see why it won't work on a centos7 host , that's why I thought about a problem with this libguestfs version (1.30.3). Here's how I installed extlinux (I already saw the link that you sent me and I don't think I made a mistake) but the guest still don't want to boot: [root@localhost libguestfs-1.30.3]# ./run guestfish -i -a /dev/vm_volumes/clone2 Welcome to guestfish, the guest filesystem shell for editing virtual machine filesystems and disk images.
