I'm just about to release libguestfs 1.20. This appendix covers issues specific to Fedora 18.
Fedora 18 defaults to using the libvirt attach-method, meaning that libvirt is used to create and manage the libguestfs appliance. There are several benefits to this (see the full release notes). You can switch back to the ordinary method (directly running qemu) at any time by doing: export LIBGUESTFS_ATTACH_METHOD=appliance
There is a bug in libvirt (or perhaps libnl, or somewhere else) which causes libvirtd to segfault occasionally: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=875741
This is jus a dup of the other similar BZ you filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=886454 The flaw is netcf, using libnl APIs that are not threadsafe. It is trivially demonstrated by just having 2 threads call netcf_init/netcf_close in parallel Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
