Ideas for the Python bindings: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-April/msg00114.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- We badly need to actually implement the FTP server mentioned in the documentation. Or: Implement a FUSE-based filesystem. See the FUSE mountlo project which does something similar, albeit only to single filesystems: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=121684&package_id=150116 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BufferIn and BufferOut should turn into and simple strings in other languages that can handle 8 bit clean strings. Limit on transfers would still be 2MB for these types. - then implement write-file properly - and implement read-file ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Implement febootstrap command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Complete the Haskell bindings (see discussion on haskell-cafe). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Practically, resizing the partitions when a block device is resized isn't possible. So for example it's not possible to resize a Fedora block device. If you try to use sfdisk-N to change the boundaries of the existing partition to fill up the new space, you get an error that the partition is in use. The reason, I now think, is because LVM is using the partition as a PV, and this locks it as far as the kernel is concerned. Removing the PV [which is what we do in the test suite] isn't desirable if the PV contains data you care about. Rebooting the qemu subprocess after the partition table change works, but isn't very cool. I believe what we need to do is to temporarily reconfigure LVM (using /etc/lvm/lvm.conf) to ignore the PV, vgscan (which will then ignore the PV), make the changes to the partition table, then set the LVM configuration back and do a final vgscan. Need to test the above, and find a nice way to present it through the API.
