Rewrite virt-resize in OCaml.
This is a fairly straightforward translation of Perl virt-resize into
OCaml. It is bug-for-bug and feature-for-feature identical to the
Perl version, except as noted below.
The motivation is to have a more solid, high-level, statically safe
compiled language to go forwards with fixing some of the harder bugs
in virt-resize. In particular contracts between different parts of
the program are now handled by statically typed structures checked at
compile time, instead of the very ad-hoc unchecked hash tables used by
the Perl version.
OCaml and the ocaml-pcre library (Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions
bindings for OCaml) are required.
Extra features in this version:
- 32 bit hosts are now supported.
- We try hard to handle the case where the target disk is not "clean"
(ie. all zeroes). It usually works for this case, whereas the
previous version would usually fail. However it is still
recommended that the system administrator creates a fresh blank disk
for the target before running the program.
- User messages are a bit more verbose and helpful. You can turn
these off with the -q (--quiet) option.
There is one lost feature:
- Ability to specify >= T (terabytes) sizes in command line size
expressions has been removed. This probably didn't work in the Perl
version.
Other differences:
- The first partition on the target is no longer aligned; instead we
place it at the same sector as on the source. I suspect that
aligning it was causing the bootloader failures.
- Because it's easier, we do more sanity checking on the source disk.
This might lead to more failures, but they'd be failures you'd want
to know about.
- The order in which operations are performed has been changed to make
it more logical. The user should not notice any functional
difference, but debug messages will be quite a bit different.
- virt-resize is a compiled binary, not a script.

packaged it up in an ISO, then ran this inside the appliance. None of

daemon: Introduce "pulse mode" progress events.
This introduces a new form of progress event, where we don't know how
much of the operation has taken place, but we nevertheless want to
send back some indication of activity. Some progress bar indicators
directly support this, eg. GtkProgressBar where it is known as "pulse
mode".
A pulse mode progress message is a special backwards-compatible form
of the ordinary progress message. No change is required in callers,
unless they want to add support for pulse mode.
The daemon sends:
- zero or more progress messages with position = 0, total = 1
- a single final progress message with position = total = 1
Note that the final progress message may not be sent if the call fails
and returns an error. This is consistent with the behaviour of
ordinary progress messages.
The daemon allows two types of implementation. Either you can just
call notify_progress (0, 1); ...; notify_progress (1, 1) as usual.
Or you can call the functions pulse_mode_start, pulse_mode_end and/or
pulse_mode_cancel (see documentation in daemon/daemon.h). For this
second form of call, the guarantee is very weak: it *just* says the
daemon is still capable of doing something, and it doesn't imply that
if there is a subprocess that it is doing anything. However this does
make it very easy to add pulse mode progress messages to all sorts of
existing calls that depend on long-running external commands.
To do: add a third variant that monitors a subprocess and only sends
back progress messages if it's doing something, where "doing
something" might indicate it's using CPU time or it's printing output.

Generate progress messages during launch.
This commit generates approximate progress messages during the
guestfs_launch call. Currently this code generates:
0 / 12: launch clock starts
3 / 12: appliance created
6 / 12: detected that guest kernel started
9 / 12: detected that /init script is running
12 / 12: launch completed successfully
(Note this is not an ABI and may be changed or removed in a future
version).
Progress messages are only generated at all if 5 seconds have elapsed
since the launch, and they are only generated for the ordinary
appliance (not if using attach-method to attach to an existing virtio
serial port).
