Hi Richard,
Is there a way I can access the /var/log/syslog of an running
guestmount instance to get the grep ntfs-3g /var/log/syslog
information?
Not of a running guestmount, no, however if you're using the
API then you can use the debug "back door" to read dmesg and
log files. There is no documentation for it, but you can find
out what is available by browsing the sources:
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/master/daemon/debug.c#L83
Something like:
const char *cmd[] = { "cat", "/var/log/syslog", NULL };
guestfs_debug (g, "sh", (char**)cmd);
or the equivalent in other language bindings.
