Description Nux 2012-07-13 18:58:51 UTC

Description of problem:
guestfish will not "touch" new files invoked as "win:c:\blah"
it will fail with error:
guestfish --rw -i -d windowstest touch 'win:c:\blah'
libguestfs: error: case_sensitive_path: blah no file or directory found with this name

At the same time the following works just fine:
guestfish --rw -i -d windowstest touch /blah

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libguestfs 1.16.19

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. invoke guestfish touch with 'win:c:\blah'

  
Actual results:
libguestfs: error: case_sensitive_path: blah no file or directory found with this name

Expected results:
the creation of a file in c:\blah

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2012-07-16 09:43:38 UTC

Yes, this should really "just work".  Since we probably
cannot change the case-sensitive-path API, we may need to
work around it in guestfish.

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2012-07-17 14:19:49 UTC

Fixed upstream in libguestfs >= 1.19.20.
