HI, I’m trying to use copu-out command to copy files from remote disk but it’s not working if the file is symbolic link. copy-out giving an error like below. libguestfs: error: ‘/etc/resolv.conf’ is not a file or directory This file is there but it's a symbolic link Do you have any other way to copy remote symbolic link files? Thanks, Chintan _______________________________________________ Libguestfs mailing list Libguestfs(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs
