Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2010-09-21 08:45:18 UTC

glob uses guestfs_glob_expand which only works for
paths:
http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#guestfs_glob_expand

We should add a glob-expand-device call which can
expand device names, then modify the guestfish 'glob'
command to use it as necessary.
