libguestfs-winsupport
Hello! I have a mess with libguestfs-winsupport package. I my repo (centos-7.1-based distro) I have ntfs-3g-2015-3.14 in epel (and not versions anywhere else). I got libguestfs-winsupport-7.1.X but it contains ntfs-3g-2014* and conflicts with epel ntfs-3g (although if I run rpm -ivh --force libguestfs-winsupport, the appliance uses v2015). I found on ~rjones/ libguestfs-winsupport-7.2.1 (without ntfs-3g inside, as I understood) and it causes no conflicts at first glance. It it ready for production, can I use it in my 7.1-based distro with ntfs-3g-2015 from epel? -- Your sincerely, Maxim Perevedentsev
I forgot: My repo has libguestfs-1.28.1-1.18. But for 1.31.X everything seems to work without libguestfs-winsupport. Second part of question is: Will libguestfs-winsupport be needed for v1.30? 1.32? And third: We came to
yum install ntfs-3g ntfsprogs ntfs-3g-devel echo 'libguestfs-winsupport' > /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/zz-winsupport But this does not work somehow.
Can we make libguestfs-1.28 work with ntfs without conflicts with existing ntfs-3g and, desirably, without copying ntfs-3g (as, ASAIK, in winsupport-7.2.1)? On 10/27/2015 02:04 PM, Maxim Perevedentsev wrote:

Not sure how that works. You'll need libguestfs-winsupport to access Windows guests, and that will be the case in RHEL 7.2 upwards.
Second part of question is: Will libguestfs-winsupport be needed for v1.30? 1.32?
On RHEL/CentOS, yes.
And third: We came to
yum install ntfs-3g ntfsprogs ntfs-3g-devel echo 'libguestfs-winsupport' > /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/zz-winsupport But this does not work somehow.
The echo command is saying "add libguestfs-winsupport to the appliance", but supermin ignores packages which are not installed, so if libguestfs-winsupport isn't installed that command will be ignored. Whether or not you installed ntfs-3g on the host is irrelevant. Anyway, I suggest installing libguestfs-winsupport-7.2 (although if you have previously force-installed packages or overwritten random distro files then all bets are off).

This might work, but I didn't test it: echo ntfs-3g > /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/local-ntfs-3g Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com virt-builder quickly builds VMs from scratch http://libguestfs.org/virt-builder.1.html

Yes. Also RHEL 7.2 / CentOS 7.2 will ship with the new version of libguestfs-winsupport.
