daemon.c does just a chroot, without chdir. The result is that pwd does not work correctly (it causes fs/dcache.c:prepend_unreachable() to add the unreachable string). A workaround is to add "cd /" before each sh command.
<fs> mount /dev/sda2 / <fs> sh "cd / ; chroot / ; /bin/pwd" /
<fs> sh "/bin/pwd" (unreachable)/
<fs> sh "cd / ; /bin/pwd" /
This change fixes the "pwd" output for me. guestfish add-drive /dev/shm/olaf/vdisk-sles11sp2_full_fate310510-disk0 : launch : mount /dev/sda2 / : sh pwd : quit / Olaf --- daemon/command.c | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) Index: libguestfs-1.20.10/daemon/command.c =================================================================== --- libguestfs-1.20.10.orig/daemon/command.c +++ libguestfs-1.20.10/daemon/command.c @@ -21,6 +21,9 @@ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> +#include <sys/types.h> +#include <sys/stat.h> +#include <fcntl.h> #include "guestfs_protocol.h" #include "daemon.h" @@ -46,6 +49,7 @@ do_command (char *const *argv) CLEANUP_FREE char *sysroot_dev = NULL, *sysroot_dev_pts = NULL, *sysroot_proc = NULL, *sysroot_selinux = NULL, *sysroot_sys = NULL; int dev_ok, dev_pts_ok, proc_ok, sys_ok; + int cwd_fd; /* We need a root filesystem mounted to do this. */ NEED_ROOT (, return NULL); @@ -89,8 +93,15 @@ do_command (char *const *argv) r = command (NULL, NULL, str_mount, "--bind", "/sys", sysroot_sys, NULL); sys_ok = r != -1; + cwd_fd = open(".", O_DIRECTORY); CHROOT_IN; + if (cwd_fd >= 0) + chdir("/"); r = commandv (&out, &err, (const char * const *) argv); + if (cwd_fd >= 0) { + fchdir(cwd_fd); + close(cwd_fd); + } CHROOT_OUT; if (sys_ok) umount_ignore_fail (sysroot_sys);
