Should we bother having the daemon at all and just link the guestfsd
code directly into libguestfs?
-PPC problems
-------------
-
-[This section should be filed as bugs, but no one seems to care for
-PPC hosts and the hardware is rapidly becoming obsolete]
-
- ppc (32 bit) works with qemu from git, however there is no serial console
-
- ppc64 requires extra parameters:
- -M mac99 -cpu ppc64
- however it still fails:
- invalid/unsupported opcode: 01 - 01 - 1a (06301e83) 00000000018c2738 1
- invalid bits: 00400000 for opcode: 0b - 19 - 15 (2d746572) 0000000000009230
-
- no serial console in ppc or ppc64 because no one can tell us what
- console=ttyXX option to use
-
Supermin appliance to febootstrap
---------------------------------
Useful imaging tool:
http://man.linux-ntfs.org/ntfsclone.8.html
-Standard images
----------------
-
-Equip guestfish with some standard images that it can load
-quickly, eg:
-
- load ext2
-
-Maybe it's better to create these on the fly?
-
virt-rescue pty
---------------
Note that pty requires cooperation inside the C code too (there are
two sides to a pty, and one has to be handled after the fork).
-virt-rescue TERM
-----------------
-
-Pass TERM from the library, through the kernel command line, to the
-init script.
-
Windows-based daemon/appliance
------------------------------
See discussion on list:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2009-November/msg00165.html
-virt-grow, virt-shrink
-----------------------
-
-Grow and shrink existing guests. The main problem comes with
-MBR-style partitions where you have to actually copy data around the
-disk (unless you only want to change the final partition).
-
qemu locking
------------
However this won't work easily for VM disk images in the disk image.
One would have to download those to the host and launch another
-libguestfs instance.
\ No newline at end of file
+libguestfs instance.
+
+List, mount filesystems by UUID and label
+-----------------------------------------
+
+[See related:
+http://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2009-August/msg00031.html]
+
+List filesystems by UUID or label.
+
+Mount filesystems by UUID or label. (I'm not really sure if we can do
+this at the moment but we ought to be able to do it, and perhaps make
+it easier by having a direct command).
+
+Map filesystems to disk blocks
+------------------------------
+
+Map files/filesystems/(any other object) to the actual disk
+blocks they occupy.
+
+And vice versa.
+
+Is it even possible?
+
+Integration with host intrusion systems
+---------------------------------------
+
+Perfect way to monitor VMs from outside the VM. Look for file
+hashes, log events, login/logout etc.
