That precise command fails with the following message:
libguestfs: error: you must call guestfs_add_drive before guestfs_launch
Ah right, that's because the default backend is 'direct', but on my
machine I have it set to 'libvirt', which supports hotplugging and
thus doesn't require you to specify any drives.
mdadm no
OK this is strange, and wrong.
Can you try:
./run virt-rescue --scratch
In the virt-rescue shell:
ls -l {/bin,/sbin,/usr/bin,/usr/sbin}/mdadm
That should show the mdadm binary copied into the appliance, but
likely it does not, because the test here is failing:
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/master/daemon/md.c#L45
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/master/daemon/guestfsd.c#L1076
It could be that mdadm is something odd, like a dead symlink?
Anyway, I'll fire up a Debian box in my cloud and see if I can
reproduce this also.
Rich.
