The below set of cmds is a working test
according to your help notes:
mkdir -pv backup
cd !$
guestfish --ro -d win2003 -i
Welcome to guestfish, the libguestfs filesystem interactive shell for
editing virtual machine filesystems.
Type: 'help' for help on commands
'man' to read the manual
'quit' to quit the shell
Operating system: Microsoft Windows Server 2003
/dev/vda1 mounted on /
<fs> list-filesystems
/dev/vda1: ntfs
/dev/vdb1: ntfs
<fs> umount-all
<fs> mount /dev/vdb1 /
<fs> glob copy-out /* .
reading guestfish manual and see some msgs like
"tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors"
i am guessing that you (we) are using tar command to copy out.
the previous error is :
"tar: ......... : Cannot open: File name too long"
although not a big problem
I've used kpartx for LVM partition, mount mapper disk and rsync files
but i never had this speed.
Really impressive. I 'll rsync the final output just to be sure of files.
Are there any other tips ?
