Re: [Libguestfs] [SOLVED] can`t start guestfsd daemon inside guest

hi Mr Rich. I did it :) I can mount, modify the file system on the running guest and the guest update properly :) Although I still failed to run the guestfsd daemon inside the guest machine but everything worked properly. I don`t understand why. Can you explain? By the way, I used guestmount to mount the running guest.

Thanks :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *From:* Richard W.M.

As you've pasted it above, the clause is wrong.  It is missing spaces in important places (eg. mode='bind'path should be mode='bind' path) Start with this simple example:       <channel type='unix'>         <source mode='bind' path='/tmp/socket'/>         <target type='virtio' name='org.libguestfs.channel.0'/>       </channel> Make sure you copy it accurately. Use 'virsh edit <Guest>' to edit the guest XML, and 'virsh domxml <Guest>' to check that the clause you tried to add is present.
