Hello, I'm a user of libguestfs. I found two problems in using the great tool. 1. When I call inspect_os on a vmdk file containing windows system, guestfish throws a Hivex.Error, I have installed hivex. 2. After I call umount_local() through python, the thread hangs to the foreground, unable to proceed, and there is no log, but mount_local() works on my program. Sorry to bother you, please reply me if you need more information. Thank you!

There's not really enough information here to help. What you should do is enable debugging: https://libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.html#debugging-libguestfs That will produce a lot of output which can help us to narrow down the problem. Note that sometimes hivex will throw a real error because of some real problem with the Windows guest. > 2.

Need a bit more information here as well. Is there a small reproducer of this problem?

Hi, Mr. Rich. I am sorry that I left too little information in the last email because I edited with my mobile phone. I wrote about my first question in the following link. https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2010/11/15/ libguestfs-inspection-now-lists-windows-apps/

2nd. Question After I call the mount_local() function in guestfs.py to operate on a disk, I hope to umount it. After calling the umount_local() function, the program hangs in the foreground and no log is displayed after that. At the same time, _check_not_closed() did not throw an exception.
