Hi guys,

I’ve struggled in this error for 1 week and your help is really appreciated.   As one EMC software engineer,  I need to setup the libguestfs tool in SUSE12 ( SUSE11SP4 is also OK,  while SUSE12 is preferred ) to mount some qcow2 image from openstack environment.  Then we can read its file system architecture and restore some files.

1.  The first thing is we build one SUSE appliance from susestudio.com.  For libguestfs/libguestfs0/guestfstools ,  SUSE studio only provide 1.26.9 version.  After download SUSE12 appliance and try to start our task by “guestmount” ,  we get this error:

       According to this page (http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.html#libguestfs:-error:-cannot-find-any-suitable-libguestfs-supermin-fixed-or-old-style-appliance-on-libguestfs_path ),  on SUSE we can only upgrade to higher version of libguestfs to resolve this issue,  right ?  

       Do we have any method to bypass this error on libguestfs 1.26.9 version ?  “sudo update-guestfs-appliance” is not used by SUSE.

2.  To install libguestfs 1.32 version on SUSE is painful process J  I have searched many websites and try to install below RPM packages :

rpm -qa --last

guestfs-tools-1.32.4-230.6.x86_64             Wed Mar  8 01:23:15 2017

e2fsprogs-1.42.9-63.1.x86_64                  Tue Mar  7 10:18:14 2017

fuse-2.9.5-74.1.x86_64                        Tue Mar  7 08:38:08 2017       

              And I get below strange error ( detail error information is in attachment) :   guestfsd: error while loading shared libraries: libaugeas.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

1) The rpm package is installed :   a

rpm -qa |grep augeas

libaugeas0-1.2.0-3.1.x86_64

And the file is there:

rpm -ql libaugeas0-1.2.0-3.1.x86_64

/usr/lib64/libaugeas.so.0

/usr/lib64/libaugeas.so.0.18.0

/usr/lib64/libfa.so.1

/usr/lib64/libfa.so.1.4.0

2) And I also run ldconfig –p command and we can see libaugeas.so.0 is registered.    

3) Is there any impact for the account to run this program ?   I use root and also update the /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf to uncomment “user = root”.

I really have no idea why this issue comes.  Do you have idea or suggestion ?   

Thanks a lot !

To be or not to be, that's the question.
