1334 and sectors on the device, which are passed directly to sfdisk as
1335 the I<-C>, I<-H> and I<-S> parameters. If you pass C<0> for any
1336 of these, then the corresponding parameter is omitted. Usually for
1337 'large' disks, you can just pass C<0> for these, but for small
1338 (floppy-sized) disks, sfdisk (or rather, the kernel) cannot work
1339 out the right geometry and you will need to tell it.
1341 C<lines> is a list of lines that we feed to C<sfdisk>. For more
1342 information refer to the L<sfdisk(8)> manpage.
1344 To create a single partition occupying the whole disk, you would
1345 pass C<lines> as a single element list, when the single element being
1346 the string C<,> (comma).

3304 The inotify subsystem can be used to notify events which happen to

3308 queued up between calls to C<guestfs_inotify_read> or

3311 default is used. For Linux 2.6.29 the default was 16384 events.
3312 Beyond this limit, the kernel throws away events, but records
3313 the fact that it threw them away by setting a flag
3314 C<IN_Q_OVERFLOW> in the returned structure list (see
3315 C<guestfs_inotify_read>).

3320 C<guestfs_inotify_rm_watch> and
3321 C<guestfs_inotify_watch_all>.

3332 watches automatically.
