Hi Rich:
What do you think about this idea?
although this still has some problems like do 'vfs-type /dev/vda'.
Can you give some comments about this? Is this a bad idea?
Thanks

Is the libblkid library interface stable? Is it meant to be used by

Yes, for example the latest udevd is linked with libblkid.

You can also optionally enable
blkid_probe_enable_partitions(pr, 1);
to check for collisions between raids and partition tables (for example
RAID1 could be partitioned -- then PT could be at the begin of the device
and raid superblock at the end of the device, etc.)

after blkid_free_probe() the "data" are deallocated, must be:
done:
close (fd);
if (data)
data = strdup ((char *) data);
blkid_free_probe (blkprobe);
return data;
Note that if-before-free is unnecessary for blkid_free_probe.

I did like this.
Now get a problem like below:
The *vfs_type* calls this *get_blkid_tag* function.
I added a disk image to guestfish, this disk image
contains a partition "/dev/vda1" with "ext4" filesystem.
Then I ran *vfs_type /dev/vda1", I got the result,
but with "vfs_type /dev/vda", it hang.
It seems that the vfs_type can't get a type of /dev/vda,
it's right that the type of /dev/vda is unknown, but
why can't it go back with unknown result or NULL result?
Maybe there's something wrong with the code of *get_blkid_tag* ?
Can you give some advise? Karel? Rich?
Thanks

I did like this.
Now get a problem like below:
The *vfs_type* calls this *get_blkid_tag* function.
I added a disk image to guestfish, this disk image
contains a partition "/dev/vda1" with "ext4" filesystem.
Then I ran *vfs_type /dev/vda1", I got the result,
but with "vfs_type /dev/vda", it hang.
It seems that the vfs_type can't get a type of /dev/vda,
it's right that the type of /dev/vda is unknown, but
why can't it go back with unknown result or NULL result?
Maybe there's something wrong with the code of *get_blkid_tag* ?
Can you give some advise? Karel? Rich?
And the updated patch is below:

Hmm... strange. Try to define BLKID_DEBUG=0xffff env. variable,
libblkid then prints many debug messages.
It seems that the vfs_type can't get a type of /dev/vda,
it's right that the type of /dev/vda is unknown, but

Yes, blkid_do_safeprobe() returns 1 if nothing detected.

Karel, on a related topic, does libblkid always ignore the cache
(/run/blkid/blkid.tab etc)?
We go to some length to disable the cache in libguestfs, eg. calling
blkid -c /dev/null and/or blkid -p (this has to work on RHEL 5 which
didn't have the -p option).
Basically we never want the cache, we always want (lib)blkid to probe
the disk directly.

Basically we never want the cache, we always want (lib)blkid to probe

1) the low-level part of the library (blkid_probe_* functions and "blkid
-p") does not use the cache at all.
2) the "blkid -c /dev/null" is a workaround for high-level part if the
library.
IMHO for libguestfs is the best to use "1)" and on old systems with old
libblkid from e2fsprogs use "2)".

Hi Rich:
This is the v3 version of the starting using libblkid in libguestfs.
Now, use the pkg-config for libblkid.
I also tested on Fedora 16, and all tests passed.
This also avoid the cache like the existing code as Kzak said.
So, any further comments?
Thanks

This makes libblkid conditional, but the code below assumes <blkid.h>
and the blkid_* calls are present.
I'll have to check what RHEL 5 can do ...

This makes libblkid conditional, but the code below assumes <blkid.h>
and the blkid_* calls are present.
I'll have to check what RHEL 5 can do ...
yes, if not, we should make some change. thanks Rich

I saw that RHEL5 only has the e2fsprogs-* package but not libblkid* packages,
and the e2fsprogs-* for RHEL5 without the *probe* functions in libblkid,
so, we should use 'blkid -c /dev/null xxx' on RHEL5 for compatibility.
Agree?
Thanks

I've had no time to look at this at the moment. Using libblkid
instead of blkid sounds like a good cleanup, but it's not something
that is essential and it'll cause issues with RHEL 5 (assuming we care
about RHEL 5).
Here is a useful link that we shouldn't forget ...
