Since the guestfsd is already dead, that means there is no guestfsd process in the guest, then guestfish cannot execute "run" with --live option any more.

In Fedora 17, there is guestfsd.service which uses systemd restart function to bring the guestfsd up I guess..

Yeah, the guestfsd should be dead when you finish your operations to the guest,
and will be started when you use guestfish next time. It's the design of guestfs,
not a bug.
