i tried this method this worked for me in case of listing partitions

[root@EQkvm0101 ~]# guestfish -- add /dev/null : config -set drive.hd0.file=rbd:ssd-clonetest-rule5/fullclone.img : run : list-partitions

/dev/sda1

/dev/sda2

[root@EQkvm0101 ~]#

thankyou so much for the reply

Also i can't use the newest version of libguestfs as im on a production system and i could not use the newest version due to some limitations.

Also the new version is not available in repo.

Im getting antother problem :

while running these commands im getting error :

guestfish -- add /dev/null : config -set drive.hd0.file=rbd:ssd-clonetest-rule5/ubuntu-12.04--1.raw.img : run : inspect-os

/dev/ubuntu-1204-vg/root

[root@EQkvm0101 ~]# guestfish -- add /dev/null : config -set drive.hd0.file=rbd:ssd-clonetest-rule5/ubuntu-12.04--1.raw.img : inspect-get-distro /dev/ubuntu-1204-vg/root

libguestfs: error: no inspection data: call guestfs_inspect_os first

Use 'guestfish --', ie:

guestfish -- add /dev/null [etc]

However I'd definitely recommend trying newer versions of libguestfs,
since they support rbd transparently.
