Hello
I am doing a research project (http://www.ites-project.org/) and want to
be able to mount VM images (all kinds of VMs, starting with VirtualBox).
For that libguestfs seems perfect. I am already able to mount the base
HD, but I was not able to additionally mount the overlaying Snapshot files.
Basically we support what qemu supports, and qemu has never really
provided a way to look at a particular internal snapshot of a disk
image. Mainly, I suspect, because qemu generally encourages you to
use qcow2 external snapshots. This would have to be added to qemu,
and then libguestfs would be able to support it almost for free.
Is there a way to mount several HD files onto each other ?
Not sure what this means.
