How many fs types do we need to test
Hi Richard, How many fs types does libguestfs support now? And how many do you suggest we test? We are now covered ext2/3/4/fat32/ntfs. Regards, Pengzhen Cao

Yes, that's fine! There's no reason to test other filesystems since they're very rarely used and (AFAIK) not supported by Red Hat.

It seems that in RHEL-6, we can not manage images on which ntfs is built on via libguestfs. So can I make a conclusion that in RHEL-6, libguestfs only support ext2/3/4/vfat? --Yufang

Yes, this a bug actually. It's bug 586341 but only viewable to Red Hat associates.

No! It's just a bug which we'll fix. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-df lists disk usage of guests without needing to install any software inside the virtual machine. Supports Linux and Windows. http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-df/
