Plan for libguestfs 1.30
by Richard W.M. Jones
It has been a ludicrously long time (over 8 months) since the last
stable release of libguestfs. So I'd like to plan a new 1.30 release
soon.
Please follow-up if there are features / blockers / bugs that need to
be addressed for 1.30.
As usual, bugs which have "1.30" (without quotes) in the Devel
Whiteboard field in Bugzilla are nominated as blockers for the
release. You can see a list of those here [currently empty]:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNE...
For a list of all bugs, go to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?component=libguestfs&product=Virt...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's also worth talking about what I'd like to do *after* 1.30 is out.
This includes:
- threading support
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2015-June/thread.html#00118
- external tests
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2014-October/thread.html#00042
While thread safety is oft talked about, it's external tests which I
consider to be the more important patch series, since it will allow us
to build and test libguestfs more easily and more comprehensively for
Fedora and RHEL. Unfortunately it's the most difficult and invasive
change of the two.
You may have your own ideas, if so follow up here.
Rich.

SELinux relabel API
by Richard W.M. Jones
[
I realized that we were discussing adding this feature, in various
private email, IRC, and this long bugzilla thread:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1060423
That's not how we should do things. Let's discuss it on the
mailing list.
]
One thing that virt-customize/virt-sysprep/virt-builder have to do is
relabel SELinux guests.
What we do at the moment is run:
if load_policy && fixfiles restore; then
rm -f /.autorelabel
else
touch /.autorelabel
echo '%s: SELinux relabelling failed, will relabel at boot instead.'
fi
while chrooted into the guest (using the 'guestfs_sh' API).
This has a number of problems:
- It has to load the policy using 'load_policy', but this doesn't
work sometimes:
* RHEL 5 load_policy takes a parameter.
* Doesn't work if appliance kernel is significantly different from
guest kernel version, because the binary policy format changes
irregularly and is not backwards compatible.
* Requires the appliance [host] kernel to be compiled with
LSM/SELinux support.
- Touching /.autorelabel is often broken, eg. it's broken in Fedora 20
because of systemd (RHBZ#1049656).
- /etc/resolv.conf will not be relabelled if guestfs network is on,
because of resolv.conf shenanigans in libguestfs.git/daemon/command.c
- It requires running guest code, which we'd like to avoid.
What would be nice would be to have an API to just do this
relabelling. Libguestfs could change this API as required to handle
different guests.
Dan Walsh helpfully pointed out to us that we've been doing it wrong
all along :-) A much better way to relabel is to run:
setfiles /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts DIR
where 'file_contexts' is a file which contains the default labels for
files (a set of regexps), and 'DIR' is the directory at which
relabelling starts. Note that 'setfiles' would be the libguestfs
appliance binary, so no guest binary needs to be run.
A simple API could just look like this:
guestfs_selinux_relabel (g);
which would always use the 'targeted' policy from the guest, and
always start relabelling at the root. This would work fine for
virt-builder.
For Colin's requirements for Project Atomic, I suspect he will want to
be able to set the file_contexts file and the root directory, but I'll
leave him to describe what would be useful.
A couple of notes:
- I'd like to avoid baking in assumptions from the 'setfiles' command
as far as possible. libguestfs APIs last for many years and some
have caused us many years of regret (but that's our job) :-/
- Is it a good idea to tie this into inspection in some way -- for
example, inspection could provide us with the path to the current or
default SELinux policy.

[PATCH] v2v: add --in-place mode
by Roman Kagan
In this mode, converting of the VM configuration, setting up the
rollback path for error cases, transforming the VM storage and so on is
taken care of by a third-party toolset, and virt-v2v is only supposed to
tune up the guest OS directly inside the source VM, to enable it to boot
and run under the input hypervisor.

ANNOUNCE: libguestfs & virt-v2v & virt-p2v RHEL 7.2 preview packages available
by Richard W.M. Jones
[The subject line isn't strictly correct, as virt-p2v packages aren't
available right now, but will be shortly]
If you are running RHEL 7.1 then you may be interested in trying out
the newer RHEL 7.2 preview versions of:
- libguestfs
- virt-v2v (Technical Preview in RHEL 7.1, Supported in RHEL 7.2)
- virt-p2v (Technical Preview in RHEL 7.2)
To install the preview repository, copy the attached file into
/etc/yum.repos.d/
Then use this command to update virt-v2v:
yum install virt-v2v libguestfs-tools-c libguestfs-xfs
To convert Windows guests you'll also need libguestfs-winsupport which
is finally available in RHN (V2VWIN channel) or you can get it from
http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-winsupport/
Please note these packages are *not* supported by Red Hat. If you
find bugs, please file them using the link below:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Red%20Hat%20Enterprise%...
To downgrade back to the RHEL 7.1 supported packages, delete
/etc/yum.repos.d/libguestfs-RHEL-7.2-preview.repo , uninstall
libguestfs, then reinstall libguestfs from RHN.
I have not tested these packages on CentOS 7.1, but they will probably
work there too, and if they don't then let me know.
Rich.

[PATCH v2 00/14] tests: Introduce test harness for running tests.
by Richard W.M. Jones
This is a more complete patch to add the test harness.
The only parts missing now are the language bindings (except OCaml).
The language bindings need a bit more thought. At the moment most
language binding tests are done through some sort of shell script like
perl/run-perl-tests which either runs each test itself or uses some
language-specific machinary to run each test. The problem with that
is the test harness should be running individual tests, otherwise we
cannot parallelize them, nor run fast-only tests. That won't work
however until the test harness knows how to run language tests, which
it doesn't at the moment (except for OCaml).
In any case, this is now ready for review, and maybe inclusion
upstream.

The problem is that \n is handled "specially" by guestfish when it is
reading the ><fs> command line, but not when it is parsing commands
sent via --remote.
The way to do this is:
$ guestfish --remote write /a.txt "hello
world"
$ guestfish --remote cat /a.txt
hello
world
Note that you have to actually press the [Return] key after "hello
Probably a better plan is to use something like python remoting:

which will be more predictable.

virt-builder quickly builds VMs from scratch
http://libguestfs.org/virt-builder.1.html
10 years, 10 months
using virt-v2v
by Arsène Gschwind
Hi,
I'm trying to migrate some VMs from KVM to oVirt using virt-v2v and I
cannot get it to work.
Where do I have to install virt-v2v on the oVirt management host?
I've setup a RHEL 7.1 VM with the libguestfs preview for RHEL 7.2, will
this work that way. My VM are located on FC LUNs on the KVM server, I'm
able to access libvirt using qemu+ssh but the it returns an error that
it cannot find the device where the VM is located on.
What will be the best/working strategy for doing such a migration.
Thanks for any hint/help.
Rgds, Arsène

restrict access to host from guestfish
by Raghu
Hi Richard,
guestfish shell has an ability to execute commands on the host such as
!mkdir local
tgz-out /remote local/remote-data.tar.gz
What is the best way to restrict access to host from guestfish ?
For instance,
- Allow readonly access to host.. i.e., !ls is allowed
but dont allow !rm or !mkdir
- commands such as tgz-out, or copy-out should be able to access just
/tmp, but nothing else in host filesystem
Appreciate your guidance on this,
Thanks

Redhat v2v
by Philip KP LI
Hi,
I am looking for the package, virt-v2v, for Redhat 7 to convert virtual
machines under Xen in Redhat 5 to KVM. But, can't find it from the 7 and
neither from the public websites. Why wasn’t virt-v2v included with 7
from the get-go?
And, pls also advise for the downloading sites if possible.
Regards,
Philip Li
