[Libguestfs] [PATCH 0/2] Add a 'virt-rescue' command

Inspired by something Glauber asked me about today, I made a very simple pair of patches which add a 'virt-rescue' command to libguestfs. This uses the appliance as a "rescue appliance", so people can boot into a disk image and repair it in an unstructured, interactive way. (Specifically, Glauber's question was how to run fsck interactively - with this patch you could do that). Example session: $ virt-rescue --ro /dev/vg_trick/F11x64 Welcome to virt-rescue, the libguestfs rescue shell. Note: The contents of / are the rescue appliance. You have to mount the guest's partitions under /sysroot before you will be able to examine them. bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device bash: no job control in this shell EXT4-fs (dm-0): barriers enabled kjournald2 starting: pid 269, dev dm-0:8, commit interval 5 seconds EXT4-fs (dm-0): internal journal on dm-0:8 EXT4-fs (dm-0): delayed allocation enabled EXT4-fs: file extents enabled EXT4-fs: mballoc enabled EXT4-fs (dm-0): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode bin dev home lib64 media opt root selinux sys usr boot etc lib lost+found mnt proc sbin srv tmp var I'd really like to know how to get rid of that bash error message.
