RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Created attachment 890340 [details]
run without tar file

Description of problem:
tar-in-opts execute failed when give a nonexistent directory path, then correct the path, but libguestfs appliance crashed.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libguestfs-1.22.6-22.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. tar file dose not exist
# guestfish -N fs -m /dev/sda1 tar-in-opts test.tar /test : tar-in-opts test.tar /

libguestfs: error: open: test.tar: No such file or directory
libguestfs: error: appliance closed the connection unexpectedly.
This usually means the libguestfs appliance crashed.
See http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.html#debugging-libguestfs
for information about how to debug libguestfs and report bugs.

# the whole log is attached(run.log)


2. tar file exist
# guestfish -N fs -m /dev/sda1 tar-in-opts test.tar /test : tar-in-opts test.tar /
libguestfs: error: tar_in: /test: No such file or directory
libguestfs: error: check_daemon_socket: read 0x44 from daemon, expected 0xffffeeee.  Lost protocol synchronization (bad!)


Actual results:
libguestfs appliance closed


Expected results:
Only command execute failed, libguestfs appliance is alive


Additional info:
Same Problem exist in rhel6, although there is no libguestfs error message printed, appliance is not in running state.

libguestfs-1.20.11-2.el6.x86_64
