Hi,

I am using Tiny Core Linux for the guests running on KVM. Is it possible to use libguestsfs tools for this kind of VMs? For example, VM_TC (the name of the VM provided in libvirt) uses a qcow2 disk image. This disk image is created from iso file of Tiny Core Linux using qemu-img utility. My host is ubuntu 12.04. I have tried to use virt-ls tool but could not succeed and is receiving the following error. Your help in this regard is highly appreciated.

virt-ls -d VM_TC /

virt-ls: no operating system was found on this disk

If using guestfish '-i' option, remove this option and instead

use the commands 'run' followed by 'list-filesystems'.

You can then mount filesystems you want by hand using the

'mount' or 'mount-ro' command.

If using guestmount '-i', remove this option and choose the

filesystem(s) you want to see by manually adding '-m' option(s).

Use 'virt-filesystems' to see what filesystems are available.

If using other virt tools, this disk image won't work

with these tools. Use the guestfish equivalent commands

(see the virt tool manual page).
