Hello Richard,
Thanks for the reply.
Indeed this behaviour exists in 1.25.6.
Grepping through the source [1], there are a number of files in
"./po/*.po[t]?" that contain this message, but I think it's ./src/drives.c
where the fail condition is actually detected / set.
On line 300 there is an if statement that checks the first character is a
slash:
if (exportname[0] != '/') {
error (g, _("rbd: image name must begin with a '/'"));
return NULL;
}
I tried to comment this out and recompile guestfs, but I get an error:
make[2]: Entering directory `/root/libguestfs-1.25.6/builder'
ocamlfind ocamlopt -g -warn-error CDEFLMPSUVYZX -package str,unix -I
../src/.libs -I ../ocaml -I ../mllib -package gettext-stub -c builder.ml -o
builder.cmx
File "builder.ml", line 53, characters 4-14:
Error: Unbound value List.iteri
make[2]: *** [builder.cmx] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/libguestfs-1.25.6/builder'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/libguestfs-1.25.6'
make: *** [all] Error 2
Can you provide some assistance resolving this compile error please? Is
there perhaps a better place to pull the source from?
Thanks,
Jon A

This is a bug basically. I have filed a bug report here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1026688
It would be helpful to try with a newer version of libguestfs. Ubuntu
has just pushed the 1.24.0 package. I don't know if it'll help or
not, but it would be useful to know if the behaviour changes.
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libguestfs/1:1.24.0-0ubuntu1/+build/...
