Re: [Libguestfs] How to use libguestfs access LVM as non-root user?

However this is not as secure as specifying the format: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#cve-2010-3851 so in production code you should specify the format if you know it, especially if the guest is not trusted. In recent libguestfs >= 1.20 you can also query the format using: `g.disk_format (filename)' but you should still be careful that you don't accidentally hit CVE-2010-3851.
