Is this the case? Does libguestfs mount the /root of the host system?
And if so, do you know a workaround for systems with encrypted disks?
It's not to do with LUKS. Just about everyone uses LUKS and
libguestfs works fine. It's a bug in the Ubuntu package, try:
I'm afraid looks like however libguestfs was built, it is
severly broken. You might want to file an Ubuntu bug if it's
the official package, or else try rebuilding the dpkg from
source and see if that works.
