I've created a basic package for libguestfs fixed appliance
(http://download.libguestfs.org/binaries/appliance/) however there seems to be
an issue with how filesystem image is packaged by rpm. It's an ext2 fs file with
size of 4G and only about ~256M used space:
$ file root
root: Linux rev 1.0 ext2 filesystem data,
UUID=99344094-4997-41f9-9e01-73452b284ab3 (large files)
$ ls -lh root
-rw-r--r-- 1 jan users 4.0G 08-14 20:16 root
$ du -h root
275M root
Now rpm installation fails with:
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib64/guestfs/root;5991e7a3:
cpio: File digest mismatch
Looking at cpio output:
$ rpm2cpio libguestfs-appliance-fixed-1.36.1-1.x86_64.rpm|cpio -idmv
./usr/lib64/guestfs/initrd
./usr/lib64/guestfs/kernel
./usr/lib64/guestfs/root
cpio: warning: skipped 4026531840 bytes of junk
...
it seems like "free space" is just considered "junk". Not really sure if that's
the issue but is there a way to tell rpm not to treat it as junk?
