I think it's really hard to diagnose problems without turning on debugging in libguestfs: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.html#how-do-i-debug-when-using-the-api > Unfortunately there are no actual API examples online, no > recipes on the libguestfs.org site, etc. Does anyone know > where there are some actual libguestfs_rsync_out() working examples? The only example I can point to is this test: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/master/tests/rsync/test-rsync.sh Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
