ANNOUNCE: virt-v2v 2.12 released
by Richard W.M. Jones
I'm pleased to announce the latest stable release of virt-v2v, 2.12.
Virt-v2v is a tool that can automatically convert VMs from foreign
hypervisors like VMware over to KVM. This version has a few new
features and extends compatibility over more types of guests.
The release notes for this version can be found online at this link,
or attached below.
https://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v-release-notes-2.12.1.html
Tarballs from:
https://download.libguestfs.org/virt-v2v/2.12-stable/
Rich.
Virt-v2v 2.12.0 was released on 10 July 2026.
New features
Enable conversions of Debian 12 guests that use UEFI (Martin Necas).
Enable conversions of SLES 12 SP5 and Ubuntu 24.04 that use LUKS encrypted
filesystems (Cole Robinson).
Enable conversions of Kylin, NeoKylin and Anolis Linux distributions
(grass lu).
Add new --no-fstrim option to disable fstrim during conversion (sarika at
Platform 9).
New --collect option which can be used to collect pre-conversion informa‐
tion such as the Windows Registry and event log for later diagnosis
(thanks Vadim Rozenfeld).
The -i disk input method now allows "nbd://..." URIs to be used instead of
local disks. This allows more flexible conversions such as converting
from xz-compressed images.
virt-v2v-inspector(1) now includes information about XFSv4 and XFSv5
filesystems.
virt-v2v-in-place(1) and virt-v2v-inspector XML output now contains sug‐
gested disk boot order information (thanks Elad Hazan).
Other fixes
Fix detection of remote files when using -it ssh mode (Ming Xie).
When injecting virtio-win drivers in Windows guests, install blnsvr.exe
(the balloon server) (Cole Robinson).
Fix installation of Windows Vista and Windows 2008 Server R1 drivers (Cole
Robinson).
Stop using xfs_repair -m option (thanks Ming Xie, Eric Sandeen, Dave Chin‐
ner).
Ignore AGFL inconsistencies in XFS filesystems on RHEL 7 guests (thanks
Brian Foster, Eric Sandeen).
Retry Windows qemu-guest-agent installer several times to work around tem‐
porary installation bugs (thanks Martin Necas, Cole Robinson).
Virt-v2v --key parameter now allows binary keys.
Virt-v2v --firstboot scripts on Windows may now exit with code 250 to
avoid rebooting after the script (Srihari Parimi).
Immutable /etc/resolv.conf no longer prevents conversion (Srihari Parimi).
Obey cgroup v2 CPU limits (Susant Sahani).
Fix output filenames if guest name contains "/" character (Susant Sahani).
Documentation
Document how to recover the key used by Windows guests that stored the
Bitlocker disk encryption key in the VMware vTPM (Ming Xie).
Document pre-conversion steps required for certain guests encrypted with
LUKS using vTPM (Ming Xie, Susant Sahani).
Fix conversion from VMware vCenter where the VMware datastore name con‐
tains some special characters (Cole Robinson).
Document that the PowerShell execution policy "AllSigned" will not work
(thanks Martin Mecas, Ulhas Surse).
Build changes
Fix Weblate (i18n) web hooks (Rafael Fontenelle).
Fix and enhance github CI checks (Cole Robinson).
Remove "AM_GNU_GETTEXT" macro and replace it with simpler "LIBINTL" checks
(Cole Robinson).
Various build warnings were cleaned up (Cole Robinson).
Fix warnings in configure script related to the order that various auto‐
conf macros appear (Olaf Hering).
Internals
Many memory leaks identified by Claude Code were fixed (shivanayak).

ANNOUNCE: guestfs-tools 1.56 released
by Richard W.M. Jones
I'm pleased also to announce the release of guestfs-tools 1.56.
Guestfs tools are a set of utilities for manipulating disk images,
virtual machine disks and similar files. This is a roll up release
from about a year of upstream work. Thanks in particular to Cole
Robinson for fixing a ton of bugs in this release and fixing our
upstream CI.
Note you will need to update to libguestfs 1.60 first.
Release notes attached below, or you can read them online here:
https://libguestfs.org/guestfs-tools-release-notes-1.56.1.html
Tarballs from:
https://download.libguestfs.org/guestfs-tools/1.56-stable/
Rich.
Guestfs tools 1.56.0 was released on 9 July 2026.
virt-builder
Fix building of "debian-13" template (pulsarrush).
Use HTTPS to fetch templates (Xiang Hua Chen).
virt-customize
Fix SELinux relabelling of "split /usr" guests.
Fix Windows Update and "pnputil /e" command in Windows guests after vir‐
tio-win drivers are injected (Cole Robinson).
When injecting virtio-win drivers in Windows guests, install blnsvr.exe
(the balloon server) (Cole Robinson).
Fix installation of Windows Vista and Windows 2008 Server R1 drivers (Cole
Robinson).
Remove the RHEL subscription-manager feature (Cole Robinson).
In firstboot scripts, print Windows "%USERNAME%" and "%USERDOMAIN%" which
can be used to diagnose failures caused by insufficient permissions (Ming
Xie).
Windows firstboot scripts may now exit with code 250, meaning that no re‐
boot is required after the script. The next script in sequence runs imme‐
diately (Srihari Parimi).
On Windows, a sentinel file is created after all firstboot scripts have
run, which may be used to indicate that firstboot has completed.
virt-inspector
Add "<windows_group_policy/>" if Windows Group Policy was detected inside
a guest.
New "<class>" element used to indicate the category of applications, such
as antivirus.
For XFS filesystems, new "<type version="4|5">" to indicate XFSv4 or
XFSv5. (This is also displayed in virt-filesystems(1) output.)
Add support for Kylin, NeoKylin and Anolis Linux (grass lu).
virt-sysprep
Add a new operation to clean zsh history files (Fazle Arefin).
Common changes
Some bash completion scripts that were no longer used by guestfs-tools
were removed. Also new "./configure --with-bash-completion" and "./con‐
figure --with-bash-completion-dir" options were added (Christopher Byrne).
All tools taking a LUKS key file now allow a binary file to be used.
Documentation
Use qemu option -cpu max in documentation about running virt-builder
guests.
All information related to firstboot scripts was moved to and consolidated
in "FIRSTBOOT" in virt-customize(1) (Srihari Parimi).
Removed a lot of obsolete documentation in the virt-sysprep(1) man page.
Build changes
Fix Weblate (i18n) web hooks (Rafael Fontenelle).
Fixes for OCaml 5.
Add github CI (Cole Robinson).
Remove "AM_GNU_GETTEXT" macro and replace it with simpler "LIBINTL" checks
(Cole Robinson).
Build Bison-based parser with -Wno-yacc to reduce yacc compatibility warn‐
ings that we don't care about (Cole Robinson).
Various build warnings were cleaned up (Cole Robinson).
"CFLAGS" is now prepended to the default, allowing default flags to be
overridden. In addition -fPIC is added to the default flags (Cole Robin‐
son).
Many memory leaks identified by Claude Code were fixed (shivanayak).
Internals
OCaml quoted string literals ("{|..|}") are used throughout the code to
make it easier to include verbatim scripts, code, regexps etc.
The sources for virt-cat(1), virt-filesystems(1), virt-log(1), virt-ls(1)
and virt-tail(1) previously used a single source directory (cat/) for no
particular reason. These were moved to separate directories.
Bugs fixed
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-100682
Installing drivers on firstboot sometimes fail with PnP service not
available [rhel-9.7]
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-108174
selinux-relabel doesn't work across filesystem boundaries (because
setfiles doesn't) [rhel-9.7]
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-125955

https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-170706
Virt-customize firstboot scripts (on Windows) should be able to skip
reboots
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-170708
Document that exit code 249 means we retry the firstboot script (Win‐
dows only)
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-171896
virt-v2v failing with binary LUKS keys [guestfs-tools]

pos.d [rhel-10.1]

ANNOUNCE: libguestfs 1.60 released
by Richard W.M. Jones
I'm happy to announce the release of libguestfs 1.60. Libguestfs is a
comprehensive library and set of tools for creating and manipulating
disk images and virtual machine disks and similar files.
This release is largely a maintenance release, but I'd like to
highlight the contributions from Rafael Fontenelle and other
translators in getting the translations (from the Fedora Weblate
project) back up and working again.
Release notes are attached below, or can be found online here:
https://libguestfs.org/guestfs-release-notes-1.60.1.html
Tarballs from:
https://download.libguestfs.org/1.60-stable/
It'll be available in Linux distros soon.
Rich.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libguestfs 1.60.0 was released on 9 July 2026.
Inspection
Add support for Kylin, NeoKylin and Anolis Linux distributions (grass lu).
Guests using Veritas partition tables (reusing the Sun partition type) can
now be inspected.
Windows Defender (antivirus) is now detected if present in Windows guests
(Susant Sahani).
API
New "guestfs_xfs_info2" API. This is similar to the existing
"guestfs_xfs_info" API but returns a flexible hashtable allowing more
fields to be added to the output in future.
"guestfs_get_hv" now returns the default hypervisor.
"guestfs_tar_in" adds a new option "keepdirlink" which controls the tar
--keep-directory-symlink flag (Anders Roxell).
"guestfs_xfs_repair" "maxmem" option now produces better error messages if
maxmem is too small.
All functions that take LUKS key parameters may now use either "text:..."
or "base64:..." prefixes, allowing binary keys to be encoded as base64 and
passed to these APIs. guestfish(1) and other tools taking a key file now
allow a binary file to be used.
"guestfs_command*" and "guestfs_sh*" now use a bind mount to override
"/etc/resolv.conf" inside the guest, allowing these commands to work even
when this file is marked as immutable, a common change that system admin‐
istrators make (Srihari Parimi).
Tools
New guestfish(1) "not" subcommand, which negates the status of a command.
Language bindings
GObject and Vala bindings were removed. They were previously deprecated
in libguestfs 1.56 (Cole Robinson).
Documentation
All information related to firstboot scripts was moved to and consolidated
in "FIRSTBOOT" in virt-customize(1) (Srihari Parimi).
Fix documentation of "guestfs_copy_out" API.
Build changes
Fix Weblate (i18n) web hooks (Rafael Fontenelle).
Fix build when libselinux is not available (David Runge).
Github CI is now used more comprehensively (Cole Robinson).
Fix "make dist" command when certain language bindings are disabled (Cole
Robinson).
"./configure --with-qemu" was removed.
"CFLAGS" is now prepended to the default, allowing default flags to be
overridden. In addition -fPIC is added to the default flags (Cole Robin‐
son).
Some bash completion scripts that were no longer used by libguestfs (they
moved to guestfs-tools) were removed. Also new "./configure
--with-bash-completion" and "./configure --with-bash-completion-dir" op‐
tions were added (Christopher Byrne).
No longer over-link Lua bindings with libxml2 and libvirt (David Runge).
Internals
Simplify qemu property testing. Most of the code was eliminated com‐
pletely, and also we no longer start up an empty guest when detecting if
KVM is available (thanks Daniel Berrange). Also we now print stderr if
qemu fails to start during detection (Hilko Bengen).
Use -cpu max on RISC-V (thanks Apache553).
Very minimal support for Apple Filesystem (APFS) was added on Fedora.
Many memory and file descriptor leaks found by Claude Code were fixed
(shivanayak).
In the libguestfs appliance, increase the number of pre-process memory
maps. This may allow xfs_repair to work on larger filesystems (Eric
Sandeen).
Fix DHCP on fast machines by making it wait for an address when networking
is enabled. In addition use "dhcpcd --debug" which makes it easier to see
if DHCP requests are working (Cole Robinson).
Improvements to debug output (Surya Gupta, Srihari Parimi).
Fix Fedora bin/sbin symlinking to be less noisy (Cole Robinson).
Rewrite xfs_repair and luks_* implementations in the daemon in OCaml.
