What were you trying to do that didn't work?
[libguestfs] [btrfs] Failed to create files with guestfish --remote in image file
What is the impact of this issue to you?
Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:
libguestfs-1.56.0-1.el10.1.x86_64
kernel-6.12.0-95.el10.x86_64
libguestfs-fssupport-10.1-3.el10.x86_64
How reproducible is this bug?:
100%
Steps to reproduce
- Prepare a btrfs image, e.g.: esx8.0-sles15sp6-x86_64-efi-with-btrfs-sda
- Execute following commands:
# qemu-img create -f qcow2 -F raw -o backing_file=esx8.0-sles15sp6-x86_64-efi-with-btrfs-sda tmp.qcow2
eval `guestfish --listen`
# eval `guestfish --listen`
# guestfish --remote -- add tmp.qcow2
# guestfish --remote -- run
# mount_device=`guestfish --remote -- inspect-os`
# guestfish --remote -- mount-options noatime $mount_device /
# guestfish --remote -- mkdir-p /home/testdir
# guestfish --remote -- write /home/testdir/testfile1 "testfile1"
# guestfish --remote -- ln-s /home/testdir /home/testdir_link
# guestfish --remote -- ln-s /home/testdir/testfile1 /home/testdir/testfile1_link
# guestfish --remote -- ls /home/testdir
testfile1
testfile1_link
# guestfish --remote -- quit
# virt-ls -R -a tmp.qcow2 /home/
There is no "testfile1" and "testfile1_link"
But following command can create the files as expected:
# guestfish -a tmp.qcow2 -i <<EOF
mkdir-p /home/testdir
write /home/testdir/testfile1 "testfile1"
ln-s /home/testdir /home/testdir_link
ln-s /home/testdir/testfile1 /home/testdir/testfile1_link
EOF
Expected results
Files can be created with guestfish --remote
Actual results
As above
