Hello,
I have installed libguestfs on RHEL 5.5 64 bit. 3 packages i
have installed.
libguestfs-tools-c-1.9.10-1.1
libguestfs-tools-1.9.10-1.1
libguestfs-1.9.10-1.1
When i am trying to run virt-resize it gives me error:
virt-resize -expand /dev/sda1 vm01.scilab vm01.scilab-15GB -d
libguestfs: trace: add_drive_opts "vm01.scilab" "readonly:true"
libguestfs: trace: add_drive_opts = 0

Do you have the LIBGUESTFS_QEMU environment variable set?

According to this document i have set the wrapper and LIBGUESTFS_QEMU
variable:
http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#qemu_wrappers
export LIBGUESTFS_QEMU=/tmp/qemu.wrapper
The Content of the wrapper is :
#!/bin/sh
qemudir=/usr/bin/
exec $qemudir/qemu-system-x86_64 -L $qemudir/pc-bios "$@"
It says :
virt-list-partitions XenGuest1.img
/usr/bin//qemu-system-x86_64: invalid option -- '-device'
child process died unexpectedly at /usr/bin/virt-list-partitions line 162.
Qemu need -device option and i dont have pc-bios( i have no idea what it
is).
I think the wrapper script should be something different.???

It appears to be a strange bug in those binary packages. I will build
a new set of binaries from a more recent upstream version and let you
know.

Actually, looking more closely I see the package is OK.
Did you read the README file?

You could try setting up a qemu wrapper yourself as described there.

If you read my second mail i have created the wrapper. Still it gives error.
The Content of the wrapper is :
#!/bin/sh

It says :

**********
Qemu need -device option and i dont have pc-bios( i have no idea what it
is).
One thing is that i am using RHEL 5.5 will that make any difference?
Should i try earlier version of libguestfs ???

Your qemu wrapper is not working for some reason. There should be a
'-L' option being passed to qemu, to a directory that contains
'bios.bin', but one of those things isn't happening.

Ok now i changed the wrapper to pint to bios file :
#!/bin/sh
qemudir=/opt/qemu/
exec $qemudir/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -L /opt/qemu/share/qemu/ "$@"
The error is gone.
Then it was giving error of virtio-serial not supported error. I was using
qemu 0.12.5 version.
So installed 0.13.0 which is having virtio-serial support ( i guess) .
Now its giving me some other error. I have attached the output of
libguestfs-test-tool .
