Re: [Libguestfs] ntfs-3g data deduplication support in guestmount for creating file based back-ups on visualization platform
Hi Richard,
Is there a way I can access the /var/log/syslog of an running guestmount
instance to get the grep ntfs-3g /var/log/syslog information?
I managed to get the plug-in to load in my questmount instances by using:
echo '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ntfs-3g/ntfs-plugin-*.so' >
/usr/lib/guestfs/supermin.d/zz-ntfs-plugins
rm -rf /var/tmp/.guestfs-*
Kind regards,
Jelle de Jong

You can most likely drop a file into /usr/lib/guestfs/supermin.d/
which contains a single line, being the full path of the plugin
file that you want to add.
Actually you can use wildcards there too, so this should work:
echo '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ntfs-3g/ntfs-plugin-*.so' >
/usr/lib/guestfs/supermin.d/zz-ntfs-plugins
After that, do:
rm -rf /var/tmp/.guestfs-*
and rerun your libguestfs program (guestmount or whatever).
See "SUPERMIN APPLIANCES" section in the supermin(1) man page for
further information.
