Re: [Libguestfs] libguestfs mounting solaris 10 ZFS guest

In fact, I wasn't even aware that Fedora had support for this, but I notice now it does have support (via a FUSE module). Anyway, we do support FUSE modules to access filesystems. eg. That is exactly how our current NTFS support works (via ntfs-3g). You'd need to rebuild libguestfs, particularly the appliance, adding the ZFS module (zfs-fuse) to appliance/packagelist.in. I don't know if it would just work after that -- mostly likely it would just work. But you might also have to make some small changes to the daemon. If you want to post a small ZFS test filesystem / VM, I'll see if I can get it to work. You'll probably want to look at the architecture diagram, since from the rest of your email it seemed you were a bit confused about how libguestfs works: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#architecture And don't bother starting off with guestmount. Use guestfish to try to get a first pass working.
