Re: [Libguestfs] host Linux - guest Win7 fast file sharing [was: getting guestfs_rsync_out to work]

Using mount (read-only) and unmount commands in a script that loops continuously, we are able to see near instantaneous file modifications (less than 0.5 sec) performed on a Win7 live guest. We have to use the sync.exe utility (technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897438.aspx), otherwise changes are not visible for 10-20 sec. We tested sync.exe with our libguestfs test program (using various methods, including rsync_out, and w/wo sync on Linux side), but we're still not able to see live guest file changes until we relaunch the image. Any advice on how to get around the relaunch requirement (which takes 3-5 sec due to loading the appliance Linux kernel), would be greatly appreciated. There are many reasons why using libguestfs is a better solution for us in the long run.
