[hivex][PATCH v2] OS X, bootstrap: Locate pkg.m4
by Alex Nelson
OS X does not include pkg-config by default. This causes ./configure
to fail when invoking PKG_CHECK_MODULES for libxml2.
This change autodetects the path for aclocal, c/o RWMJ noting the real
problem is a deficiency in aclocal on OS X.

With libguestfs you'd use guestmount to do this:
guestmount -a /dev/virtual/centos -m /dev/virtual/root /tmp/mnt
There's no need to use kpartx.

Yes there are plans to do this, but no public timelines yet that I'm
aware of. You might be better asking this question on one of the
oVirt lists, since that is now where development happens:

*If* you are certain that the VM is not running, and you know its
UUID, then it's possible to go into the RHEV storage and modify it
directly. I can't remember the details but it was fairly obvious how
VMs are mapped onto logical volumes by UUID.

Not this year, but perhaps next year.

Notice: libguestfs < 1.16 are now out of support
by Richard W.M. Jones
As announced two months ago[1], and since RHEL 6.3 is about to be
released, I have deprecated the older branches of libguestfs (1.8,
1.10, 1.12, 1.14).
These old branches are archived and will no longer receive any bug
fixes or security fixes.
libguestfs 1.16 and 1.18 are now the only supported stable branches,
and it is recommended that everyone upgrades to them. They should be
completely backwards compatible with the older versions -- if you spot
any change that isn't backwards compatible then file a bug.
Rich.

FYI: 'oldlinux' branch created
by Richard W.M. Jones
I've created an "oldlinux" branch in github:
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commits/oldlinux
The idea of this branch is that it contains patches to make libguestfs
work on older versions of Linux that:
- *don't* have virtio-serial in qemu/kernel
- have ancient autotools
Specifically we're targeting RHEL 5 (ca. 2007) and not anything older.
This branch is fairly brutal: for example it completely deletes some
bindings that I didn't try very hard to get working.
Notes:
(1) This branch is not fast-forward. I will rewrite history at will,
particularly as I move patches upstream and rebase the branch against
the head.
(2) I will try to cherry pick patches that make general sense upstream
in order to keep the oldlinux branch as close as possible to the
development (master) branch.
Rich.

[PATCH 0/5] Assorted patches to add virtio-scsi support.
by Richard W.M. Jones
These assorted patches end up with adding virtio-scsi support to
libguestfs.
It passes libguestfs-test-tool, but I haven't yet tried to run the
full set of tests.
In theory > 26 devices can be added, but it's likely that certain
parts of the daemon will break if you actually try this. This of
course needs to be fixed.
Thanks Paolo Bonzini for invaluable help.
