If there is a GPT partition layout, then what should be read and
restored for each partition is the GPT type and not the MBR ID.
Related to RHBZ#1060404.
If we rely on OCaml's internal exception printing, then it will
truncate error messages like this:
Fatal error: exception Guestfs.Error("could not create appliance
through libvirt.
Try running qemu directly without libvirt using this environment
variable: export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct
Original error from libvirt: unable to set security context
'unconfined_u:object_r:svi
note the truncation here ^^^^^^^
Instead of using the internal exception printing, wrap the whole
program in a 'main ()' function and add an exception handler.
This large change is non-functional apart from the addition of the
exception handlers at the end.

virt-resize: error: you cannot use the same disk image for input and
output
If reporting bugs, run virt-resize with the '-d' option and include the
complete output.
Note (a) it assumes the program is called "virt-resize" which it
isn't, and (b) it assumes the program has a debug option -d which it
doesn't.
This commit changes the error message and adds a -v option to
virt-resize.
We have to include the right header so that guestfs___free_string_list
is declared. Unfortunately that means ensuring -I src is passed to
the compiler in every tool subdirectory.
Also fix (bogus) compiler warning about incorrect type of the
parameter to caml_copy_string_array.
If you don't have a ^C (SIGINT) signal handler at all, then at_exit
handlers are not called so you end up leaving the large temporary
overlay file lying around. That was fixed, incorrectly, by
commit 7283a5a276.
However the code now would delete the overlay file in the SIGINT
handler but otherwise continue running until basically it tries to
read the overlay file (now deleted) and fails. So it kind of worked,
by accident.
Fix this so that the signal handler calls exit, thus ensuring both
that the exit handler is called (to delete the file) and that the
program actually exits as soon as possible.
This also refactors the unlink_on_exit function into a utility.
Review every test(!) to ensure that it:
- Doesn't use a generic name (eg. "test1.img", "test.out") for any
temporary file it needs.
- Does instead use a unique name or a temporary name (eg. a name like
"name-of-the-test.img", or a scratch disk).
- Does not use 'rm -f' to clean up its temporary files (so we can
detect errors if the wrong temporary file is created or removed).
This allows tests to be run in parallel, so they don't stomp on each
other's temporary files.
Since we don't usually move the first partition, if the first
partition has an unusually large offset from the start of the disk,
then the unpartitioned space in front of that partition counts as
partitioning overhead. However the previous surplus calculation was
not taking that into account.
This was a problem for certain Ubuntu images which are partitioned
with an 8 MB gap before the first partition.

This file is mainly a central place to:
- include localenv if it exists, and
- define the RHEL 5 backwards compatibility macros, instead of
spreading them over every other file.
Setting the 'sparse' optional boolean causes writes to be omitted if
the block to be written contains all zero bytes.
This should help with sparse backing files (eg. raw, qcow2, dm-thin, etc).
Also, modify virt-resize to use this option by default when copying
devices. The savings in virt-resize can be quite startling, eg
'du -sh' (ie. true size) of a resized disk image:
8.1G /tmp/f15x32-resized.img # before this change
3.2G /tmp/f15x32-resized.img # after this change
This API is an easier to use version of the existing guestfs_available,
because the new API returns true/false instead of throwing an error
when a feature from the list is not available.
In truth we've had this implementation internally in the library
and several tools and in Sys::Guestfs::Lib for a long time. This
change just turns it into a publicly consumable API.
In particular, building virt-sysprep is slow because there are so many
modules. Enable parallel builds. If it breaks, we should fix it, not
work around it.
For example:
$ guestfish --long-options
--add
--cmd-help
--connect
--csh
--domain
--echo-keys
[etc.]
The idea of this is to make it easier to write a bash completion
script that accurately expands --<TAB> options for each command.
These configure flags enable code profiling (with gprof) and code
coverage (with gcov) respectively.
Although this is a nice idea, it's not currently very useful.
Libtool mangles filenames in such a way that gcov cannot locate its
datafiles.
Profiling is of dubious utility with libguestfs which is not CPU-bound
and relies extensively on running external programs (oprofile-like
system profiling that took into account libguestfs + qemu or
libguestfs + qemu + the appliance + filesystem tools *would* be
useful).
Also neither flag will help in capturing data from the appliance.
'make extra-tests' was a monolithic set of tests that did all sorts of
things: valgrind, tests over local guests, tests with upstream qemu,
tests with upstream libvirt, tests with the appliance attach method.
This made it hard to perform individual tests, eg. just valgrind
testing. It was also hard to maintain because the tests were not
located in the same directories as the programs and sometimes
duplicated tests that were run elsewhere.
This commit splits up 'make extra-tests' into 5 separate targets:
make check-valgrind # run a subset of tests under valgrind
make check-valgrind-local-guests # test under valgrind with local guests
make check-with-appliance # test with attach-method == appliance
make check-with-upstream-qemu # test with an alternate/upstream qemu
make check-with-upstream-libvirt # test with an alternate/upstream libvirt
(You can also still run 'make extra-tests' which is now simply
a rule that runs the above 5 targets in order).
This replaces everything that was in the tests/extra directory,
so that has now gone.
Commit a0722c7ad8 introduced a
dependency on the Unix module. This was not listed in the list of
'-package's, but as long as you had ocaml-gettext installed it would
still work because that pulled in Unix implicitly.
Thanks Olaf Hering.
The code was identical -- just copied with s/resize/sparsify/.
Instead of duplicating identical code, cause the Makefile.am to use
the code from the ../resize/ directory.
Unfortunately because there are two Utils modules (which are
different), this means we had to rename those modules to Resize_utils
and Sparsify_utils respectively. So this is a rather larger change
than intended. However it's just code motion.
