Little bit quiet on this list at the moment, so here's some news ... We just built a package called 'libguestfs-mount' in Rawhide which lets you mount virtual machines' filesystems on the host, using FUSE.
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=139621 Use it like this (as non-root): mkdir /tmp/mnt guestmount -a disk.img -m /dev/VG/Root --ro /tmp/mnt where you can replace 'disk.img' with any guest's disk image, and /dev/VG/Root with the root device in that guest. Or to get virt-inspector to do the hard work of looking in the guest and arranging the disks for you: guestmount $(virt-inspector --ro-fish MyGuest) /tmp/mnt where MyGuest is the name of the guest (as known by libvirt). And then you can just look into /tmp/mnt and browse the guest's disk using whatever text or graphical tools you want. To unmount do: fusermount -u /tmp/mnt Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into Xen guests. http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-p2v _______________________________________________ Fedora-virt mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-virt
