Libguestfs Failure on latest Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
by Justin Churchey
Hello Everyone,
I was having some difficulties converting OVA images yesterday. At first, I
thought it may have been a compatibility issue with VirtualBox 7.0.
However, when I went to run libguestfs-test-tool, it began failing with the
exact same error as the conversions, which leads me to believe the issue
may lie with libguestfs and not the images themselves.
To test further, I created a fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04, and the
libguestfs-test-tool seems to fail with the same error, even on a fresh
install. I am attaching the libguestfs-test-tool output for reference.
Ubuntu 22.04 is running libguestfs-tools 1.46.2-10ubuntu3
If anybody has any insight into the issue, or if you feel a bug report
needs to be filed, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Justin Churchey

Changes in qcow2 not reflecting/visible
by Sharon Dsouza (Nokia)
1. What are you trying to do?
I'm trying to mount qcow2 using guestfish -remote, modify the qcow2 and reuse the modified qcow2.
1. What exact command(s) did you run?
I have attached code.txt
1. What was the precise error or output of these commands?
While remounting the qcow2 I'm not able to see the modifications I have made to the qcow2 during initial mounting. May I know why.
1. Enable debugging, run the commands again, and capture the complete output. Do not edit the output.
export LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1
export LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1
I have attached the debuglog.txt
Please let me know if you need more information...
Awaiting for a response.

[V2V PATCH 0/1] convert_windows: add firstboot script to install drivers with pnputil
by Andrey Drobyshev
I've been experiencing problem with the drivers not always being installed.
This patch merely implements the solution offered by Richard in the
commit 73e009c04 ("v2v: windows: Document use of pnputil to install
drivers."). The solution wasn't implemented back then, but rather added
merely as a comment. Thus I wonder is there some issues which it may
cause?
The most obvious issue I can think of is that this way we would install
all the drivers put into the driver store, rather than letting Windows
pick them one by one for the unknown devices only. But since each of
these drivers we put there for a good reason (discovering present
devices during conversion phase), this shouldn't really be a problem.

[V2V PATCH v2 0/5] Bring support for virtio-scsi back to Windows
by Andrey Drobyshev
Discussion on v1:
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2023-February/030849.html
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2023-March/030917.html
v1 -> v2:
* Adapt the patch suggested by Richard, splitting it up into 3:
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2023-March/030975.html
Now we have "--block-driver" command line option which regulates the
order in which block drivers are being searched for (and, as a
consequence, the default driver).
Andrey Drobyshev (2):
Revert "Remove guestcaps_block_type Virtio_SCSI"
convert_windows: add Inject_virtio_win.Virtio_SCSI as a possible block
type
Richard W.M. Jones (3):
convert: introduce "block_driver" convert option
convert_windows: set block driver priority according to block_driver
option
v2v, in-place: introduce --block-driver command line option
