14 years agoGeneric partition creation interface.
Richard Jones [Wed, 4 Nov 2009 23:15:26 +0000 (23:15 +0000)]
Generic partition creation interface.

This commit introduces a generic partition creation interface
which should be future-proof and extensible, and partially
replaces the old sfdisk-based interface.

The implementation is based on parted but is hopefully not too
dependent on the particulars of parted.

The following new calls are introduced:

  guestfs_part_init:
    Initialize a disk with a partition table.  Unlike the sfdisk-
    based interface, we also support GPT and other partition
    types, which is essential to scale to devices larger than 2TB.

  guestfs_part_add: Add a partition to an existing disk.

  guestfs_part_disk:
    Convenience function which combines part_init & part_add,
    creating a single partition that covers the whole disk.

  guestfs_part_set_bootable:
  guestfs_part_set_name:
    Set various aspects of existing partitions.

  guestfs_part_list:
    List partitions on a device.  This returns a programming-friendly
    list of partition structs (in contrast to sfdisk-l which cannot
    be parsed).

  guestfs_part_get_parttype:
    Return the partition table type, eg. "msdos" or "gpt".

The following calls are planned, but not added currently:

  guestfs_part_get_bootable
  guestfs_part_get_name
  guestfs_part_set_type
  guestfs_part_get_type

FUSE filesystem support.

This implements FUSE filesystem support so that any libguestfs-
accessible disk image can be mounted as a local filesystem.

Note: file writes (ie. write(2) system call) is not yet implemented.

The API needs more test coverage, particularly lesser-used system
calls.

The big unresolved issue is UID/GID mapping between guest filesystem
IDs and the host.  It's not easy to automate this because you need
extra details about the guest itself in order to get to its
UID->username map (eg. /etc/passwd from the guest).
