Hi all,
I am using libvirt:qemu-kvm and I want to access(RO) the procfs of
the guest vm.
I was trying to use guestfs for the same purpose.
I can access /tmp of the guest but not the /proc
Is it a known issue? If so, how can I overcome the same? Any pointers?
Yes, I'm afraid libguestfs simply doesn't work this way. It's a way
to access disk images, not virtual filesystems created by the guest.
You probably want something like qemu-ga.
