Hi. I am currently debugging an issue with libguestfs in Centos 7.2 (Kernel 3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64).

libguestfs is being called by SaltStack to access a qcow2 image, but it is failing. I have narrowed the issue down to the command below:

guestmount -i -a /opt/vm-spinning/salt-mnt/salt-images/pb123/system.qcow2 --rw /tmp/guest/opt.vm-spinning.salt-mnt.salt-images.pb123.system.qcow2

I have run libguestfs-test-tool in debug as recommended in the faq but am at a loss to explain the behavior, Libguestfs-test-tool dumps out when I run the guestmount.

Please see log below:
