General glibc / core programs:
chgrp
dd (?)
- ln / ln -s
- readlink
utime / utimes / futimes / futimens / l..
more mk*temp calls
- some sort of alloc/fallocate/posix_fallocate call to create empty space
- realpath
trunc[ate??]
ext2 properties:
pivot_root
fts(3) / ftw(3)
-Swap space
-----------
-
-Allow swap space from the guest to be used. Is it a good idea?
-
Other initrd-* commands
-----------------------
perl -MSys::Guestfs::One -e 'inspect("guest.img"); cat ("/etc/fstab");'
How would editing files work?
+
+ntfsclone
+---------
+
+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?
