- An easier way to use this from guestfish.
- Direct access to the /dev/mapper device (eg. if it contains
anything apart from VGs).
Recursive upload / download of multiple files
---------------------------------------------
virt-tar is really clumsy to use, and upload/download in guestfish can
only do single files. tar-in in guestfish can upload multiple files,
but only if you have prepared a tarball in advance.
What we really need is a method which is as easy to use as 'scp' and
'scp -r'.
Can we add this as a command in guestfish? This will be more useful
since users will already need to be in guestfish in order to create
target directories, review what they've done etc. It could be a meta-
command such as:
copy-in-recursive localdir remotedir
copy-out-recursive remotedir localdir
which would hide use of tgz-in etc.
Other thoughts on this:
virt-cp or virt-rcp or virt-copy or virt-scp or ...?
virt-copy *.c *.h GuestName:/tmp/
virt-copy -r dir/ GuestName:/tmp/
virt-copy GuestName:/tmp/foo* .
virt-copy disk.img:/tmp/bar* otherdisk.img:/tmp
( probably not because it requires multiple libguestfs connections)
