Re: [Libguestfs] Hierarchical local mount

Hello everyone! I have to implement the functionality of mounting all VM disks/partitions. E.g. if a VM has 2 disks of 2 partitions each (I get it from virt-filesystems), I want to get the following structure on host node after mount: mnt/ ------hdd0/ -------------volume1/ -------------volume2/ ------hdd1/ -------------volume1/ -------------volume2/ I'd like to use guestmount due to syntax simplicity, but I found out that it's impossible to call e.g. guestmount -a disk.qcow2 -m /dev/sda1:/hdd0/volume1 -m /dev/sda2:/hdd0/volume2 mnt/ So I came to only two possible options: 1) mkdir -p mnt/hdd0/volume1 guestmount -a disk.qcow2 -m /dev/sda1 mnt/hdd0/volume1 .... (Is it safe to use the same disk from multiple guestmounts?) 2) guestfish -a disk.qcow2 " run : mkmountpoint /hdd0 : mkmountpoint /hdd0/volume1 : ... : mount /dev/sda1 /hdd0/volume1 : ... : mount-local mnt/ : mount-local-run" kill -TERM `pidof guestfish` guestunmount mnt/ Is any of these options safe enough/preferred? Or, maybe, other options? I'd like to avoid guestfs API, threading and so on, and confine myself to command-line.
