Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-09-18 07:43:04 UTC

This is fixed by upstream commit
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/95bb1916eb1b2f6f9e9575cf4bf92501292bf545

Unfortunately I didn't manage to get this fix into RHEL 7.2,
but it will be included in RHEL 7.3.  Nevertheless as a workaround
you can do:

echo -/var/log/tallylog > /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/bz1264241

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1239154 ***

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-09-18 07:45:54 UTC

Probably better workaround:

echo -/var/log/tallylog > /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/zz-log
