Hi Team,
This mail is regarding these attached patches which will add Veritas Filesystem(VxFS) and
Volume Manager(VxVM) support to libguestfs. Since we are modifying the libguestfs library
code for commercial purpose, to honor the LGPL license we are sending our changes for
review and request to merge these changes to upstream libguestfs git repository.
Changes:
appliance/init:
+# Create dev directory for all Veritas (VxVM) device files.
+mkdir -p /dev/vx
appliance/hostfiles.in: All the files mentioned in this file will be copied to appliance.
+/etc/vx/vxfs
+/etc/vx/veki
+/etc/vx/vxvm-startup
+/opt/VRTS/bin/fstyp
daemon/vm.ml: This new OCAML file has functions, which are used to identify the Veritas
volumes inside VMDKs. Similar to lvm/lvm2 in libguestfs. These functions are called
Veritas volume manager related commands.
daemon/vxvm_type.ml : This new OCAML file has a function defined to determine the
filesystem type on Veritas volume.
generator/actions_core.ml : This is an already existing file used to call functions
defined in OCAML *.ml files. In case of Veritas volume, it calls functions from
<daemon/vm.ml> and <daemon/vxvm_type.ml>
daemon/vxfs.c : This new C file has functions to identify and start Veritas
filesystem(VxFS) on host appliance. Similar to XFS, EXT3/4 and BTRFS in libguestfs.
Attached zip file contains two patches:
Patch for upstream:
0001-Master-VxFS-Filesystem-support-to-libguestfs.patch
Patch for rhel8(libguestfs-1.44):
0024-RHEL8-VxFS-filesystem-support-to-libguestfs.patch
We would really appreciate your feedback on these changes.
Thanks,
Ravi
