Run this command across the source:
perl -pi.bak -e 's/(20[012][0-9])-20[12][012]/$1-2023/g' `git ls-files`
and remove changes to po{,-docs}/*.po{,t} (these will be regenerated
later when we run 'make dist').
Search the usage output of "mkfs.fat" for "--mbr[="; cache the result for
further invocations. If the option is supported, pass "--mbr=n" to
"mkfs.fat". This will prevent the creation of a bogus partition table
whose first (and only) entry describes a partition that contains the
partition table.
(Such a bogus partition table breaks "parted", which is a tool used by
libguestfs extensively, both internally and in public libguestfs APIs.)

GUESTFSD_EXT_CMD was used by OpenSUSE to track which external commands
are run by the daemon and package those commands into the appliance.
It is no longer used by recent SUSE builds, so remove it.
Thanks: Pino Toscano, Olaf Hering.
Run the following command over the source:
perl -pi.bak -e 's/(20[01][0-9])-2016/$1-2017/g' `git ls-files`
(Thanks Rich for the perl snippet, as used in past years.)
I enabled the -Wshadow warning temporarily in order to do these fixes,
but had to disable it again afterwards. The reason is that this warns
about shadowing globals, which is sort of a good thing, but because we
have a global called "verbose" just about everywhere, and at the same
time we baked a function argument called "verbose" into several
unchangable APIs, well, we're stuck without being able to use this
warning.
Add the 'label' optional argument to the mkfs action, so it is possible
to set a filesystem label direct when creating it. There may be
filesystems not supporting changing the label of existing filesystems
but only setting it at creation time, so this new optarg will help.
Implement it for the most common filesystems (ext*, fat, ntfs, btrfs,
xfs), giving an error for all the others, just like set_label does.
Otherwise it moans about:
mkfs: ntfs: /dev/sda: /dev/sda is entire device, not just one partition.
Refusing to make a filesystem here!
This has been happening for a while, so I don't know why we didn't
notice it before. It even happens on RHEL 6.
A simple reproducer is:
virt-make-fs -t ntfs any-tarball.tar.gz test.img
If you use virt-make-fs to create a partitionless FAT-formatted disk
image then currently you will get an error:
$ virt-make-fs --type=fat . /tmp/test.img
'mkfs' (create filesystem) operation failed.
Instead of 'fat', try 'vfat' (long filenames) or 'msdos' (short filenames).
mkfs: fat: /dev/sda: mkfs.fat: Device partition expected, not making filesystem on entire device '/dev/sda' (use -I to override) at /usr/bin/virt-make-fs line 508, <PIPE> line 1.
...propagated at /usr/bin/virt-make-fs line 518, <PIPE> line 1.
With this patch, the error goes away and partitionless disks can be
created.
Add a utility function (fstype_is_extfs) to match ext2/3/4 filesystem
names. This is used in a couple of places.
When passing the mke2fs -t parameter, verify that the request is for
an ext2/3/4 filesystem. Previously we did not check this, and neither
did mke2fs when the -F flag was also used.
Revert "btrfs: Add an extended workaround for btrfs failures seen with kernel 3.7.0."
Reverted these workaround, since we may have found a fix for the btrfs
bug itself (for details see RHBZ#863978).
This reverts commit d9e5b514aa
and commit a03f536f0d.
guestfsd calls many different tools. Keeping track of all of them is
error prone. This patch introduces a new helper macro to put the command
string into its own ELF section:
GUESTFSD_EXT_CMD(C_variable, command_name);
This syntax makes it still possible to grep for used command names.
The actual usage of the collected list could be like this:
objcopy -j .guestfsd_ext_cmds -O binary daemon/guestfsd /dev/stdout |
tr '\0' '\n' | sort -u
The resulting output will be used to tell mkinitrd which programs to
copy into the initrd.

This is needed because older versions of grub(for example in centos)
do not understand filesystems created with newer version of e2fsprogs.
By default in e2fsprogs 1.4+ creates partitions with 256 bit inode
size, and grub expect 128 bit size.
This is an extensible version of 'mkfs' which supports optional
arguments. There is now no need for 'mkfs_b' since you should
use 'mkfs_opts' with the optional 'blocksize' argument instead.
The RPC stubs already prefix the command name to error messages.
The daemon doesn't have to do this. As a (small) benefit this also
makes the daemon slightly smaller.
Code in the daemon such as:
if (argv[0] == NULL) {
reply_with_error ("passed an empty list");
return NULL;
}
now results in error messages like this:
><fs> command ""
libguestfs: error: command: passed an empty list
(whereas previously you would have seen ..command: command:..)
