This commit fixes the 'Use%' field in the output so it matches what
coreutils' 'df' command would print.
Firstly we change the calculation to use the space available to root,
not the space available to non-root. This means it matches what 'df'
when run as root in the guest would show.
Secondly we display this rounded up to the next whole percent (ie. using
ceil), which is also what 'df' does.
Thirdly we change the regression test so it tests this.
Note that even with these changes you are not guaranteed to get precisely
the same figures from inside and outside the guest, as it depends on
how quiescent the guest is and how recently the superblock was synced.

Since commit 977edb3185 we have been passing TERM from the
library into the appliance (for the benefit of virt-rescue).
However this changes the output of parted, which I would argue
is a bug in parted:
TERM=xterm /sbin/parted -m -- /dev/sda unit b print 2>&1 | hexdump -C
00000000 1b 5b 3f 31 30 33 34 68 42 59 54 3b 0a 2f 64 65 |.[?1034hBYT;./de|
Notice the escape-sequence junk before the official "BYT;"
header.
By setting TERM=dumb we avoid this.
Previously we used newSVpv (str, len), but if len == 0 then
this means Perl tries to calculate the string length using
strlen(3). This is not desirable when we know the length, in
which case we should use newSVpvn instead.
The problem is that mkfs was making an ext2 filesystem,
which later we were checking with e4fsck. e4fsck corrects
an "error" on the filesystem:
/dev/VG/LV: Adding dirhash hint to filesystem.
e4fsck returns 1 (errors corrected) which we were interpreting
as an error return.
Virt-resize is the main contribution here, a program which can
be used to expand and shrink partitions in disk images.
Virt-list-partitions is used as an ancillary tool for planning
resize operations.
This is similar to 'guestfs_dd', but it copies just a fixed
number of bytes from the source to the destination. It's an
error if the source is too short or if the destination is too
small.
This allows programs to work if they just
#include <guestfs.h>
and no other headers. It's not useful in the general
case, but fixes some configure-time tests, particularly
the one for Ruby on OS X.
As far as I can tell, Darwin has no way to check the peer euid
of a _loopback_ TCP socket. This is required for the "null vmchannel"
implementation to work securely.
Therefore disable this - Darwin will use one of the other supported
vmchannel implementations instead.
Since we disabled running new-kernel-pkg in febootstrap, this
has meant that the normal appliance has not had a modules.dep
file. (Supermin was unaffected by this).
