[PATCHv2] New API: part_expand_gpt.
by Maxim Perevedentsev
This action moves second(backup) GPT header to the end of the disk.
It is usable in in-place image expanding, since free space after
second GPT header is unusable. To use additional space, we have
to move second header. This is what sgdisk -e does.
However, sgdisk -e may perform additional actions if the partition
table has unexpected params (e.g. if we call sgdisk -e /dev/sda1,
it may fix partition table thus destroying the filesystem).
To prevent such cases, we do a dry-run at first and fail if
additional actions are scheduled.

One problem with this is that the 'index' format isn't the only
metadata format we now support. (SimpleStreams is another).
However there is an intermediate format we use internally, and those
fields could be printed by --notes or some other mechanism.
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/master/builder/index.mli
This would be suitable for an RFE in Bugzilla.

We definitely need a way to get at the osinfo information more easily.

By 'repo' do you mean a virt-builder repo or a repo used for
installing packages (eg. a yum/apt repo)?
For the latter, the --attach option might be useful.
For the former, we should have a way to skip repos or DTRT without the
network being available. Pino - what do you think?

IIRC, currently if a *template* exists in the cache, then it won't
download it. However that doesn't help if the repo is inaccessible.

The format parameter in the metadata and the --format option are
related, but different things.
The format= metadata tells virt-builder the format of the original
template (ie. centos-6.xz is raw format after decompression). Image
format auto-detection is a security risk [although to be fair really
not in this particular case], and so it's better to specify the
format.
The --format parameter is what format the virt-builder end user would
like your final image to be.
So if format=raw and --format qcow2, then virt-builder knows it must
convert the image. This is the code:
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/master/builder/builder.ml#L...
The --format command line parameter defaults to raw (and this is
documented in the manual). It doesn't matter what the original
template format was.

So virt-builder is behaving as per specification above.
My initial thought was that we could have an `output_format=...' line
in the metadata. However that has a couple of problems:
(1) Other metadata format like SimpleStreams doesn't support this.
(2) It breaks the virt-builder contract because we have documented in
the manual that the default output format (ie. if --format is not
specified) is raw.
However, read on ...

We couldn't call it "auto", since --format=auto is used in other
virt-* tools contexts to mean to do unsafe autodetection of the
format.
I don't mind if we called it something else, perhaps `--format=input'?
It just has to be a name that could never be used as a real disk
format (like 'qcow2' or 'vmdk').
The RFE process is described here:

Can I update a specific package with virt-customize/virt-sysprep
by Yaniv Kaul
I'm using an image (Fedora cloud) which apparently doesn't have iSCSI
kernel module available as-is. I therefore need to update kernel-core in
order to get it.
Is there a way I can do it via virt-sysprep / virt-customize?
I would like on the first boot already to use iSCSI (I'm using a script
there to already login to a target, etc.), so first boot (+ it'll require
an additional boot anyway) is too late for this.
Is there a way to do it, as it seem 'update' updates everything (and thus
bloats my image a bit).
TIA,
Y.

Question: ntfs mount forbidden in rhel-7 branch
by Maxim Perevedentsev
Hello everyone!
I guess this is a frequent question, but how can I mount ntfs partition
using libguestfs rhel-7?
As I see from the commit bound to RHBZ#1240276, this was intentionally
made impossible, for rhel-7 branches. It is true?
I'd like to use ntfs mount functionality, but I'd like to use mainstream
version of libguestfs as well (the version designed for rhel-7 is
expected to be quite reliable).
So could you please explain why ntfs mounting was forbidden (except for
virt-* programs), and how to work around this (I see two options: drop
this patch or set_program("virt-hack")).
Thanks in advance!

IRC question: can virt-sparsify output to stdout instead of a file?
by Richard W.M. Jones
01:19 < bananapie> without using a named pipe, can virt-sparsify output to stdout instead of a file?
01:20 < bananapie> called from a bash script*
01:43 < bananapie> if I use a named pipe, it says 'Could not refresh total sector count: Operation not permitted'
02:33 < bananapie> ok. I found the answer, virt-sparsify doesn't read linearly, so named pipes doesn't work :(
No.
However, for copying mode (not --inplace), the longer answer is it
could be modified to make it work:

[PATCH 1/2] launch: direct: manually compose iscsi:// URIs
by Pino Toscano
Move the creation of iscsi URIs away from make_uri, composing them
manually: this is needed because libxml assumes colons (':') to separate
user and password for the authority part, while with iscsi URIs the
separator is percentage ('%'), which would be percent-encoded by libxml.
