HI, Richard
Is there any plan to make daemon to directly run on the hypervisor, not starting a guest? e.g. directly export a guest image to be a block device on the hypervisor?
Not in 1.28, but adding lxc:// support to the libvirt backend (src/launch-libvirt.c) would be fairly easy.
It's an idea that has been kicked around before on the list, eg:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2014-January/msg00296.html It's not what i said, i mean that when you run virt-resize, it doesn't start a appliance guest. You know, it will bring up a lot of troubles or risks if a guest is started.
There are no risks as far as I'm aware. What kind of troubles/risks?
