Failed to mount filesystem: Unexpected error while running command.

I'm using the image fetched from http://berrange.fedorapeople.org/images/2012-11-15/f17-x86_64-openstack-sda.qcow2
The following is a log of mounting the image directly with guestmount command.

SELinux is permissive and libguestfs version is as below.

Comment 2 Etsuji Nakai 2013-01-18 08:11:42 UTC
I suspect this is related to virtio-scsi. So I applied an ad-hoc patch on libguestfs to disable using virtio-scsi (See Comment 1).

guestmount worked well with the patch.

Comment 3 Pádraig Brady 2013-01-18 09:43:25 UTC
We're really only calling out to libguestfs here. Changing components, thanks.

Likely to be an instance of:

Comment 5 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-01-18 09:51:58 UTC
... although why disabling virtio-scsi would make any difference
I have no idea.  Anyway, the original bug report does look a
lot like the augeas bug (bug 894241), so you could try asking
dlutter to take a closer look into it.

Comment 6 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-01-18 09:53:57 UTC
In fact this is so similar it must be a duplicate.

Etsuji-san, could you capture the /etc directory from the guest.
The instructions for doing this are here:

/etc directory contents of guest image

Hi. Do you mean the /etc contents of the guest image (which guestmount fails to mount)? If so, this is one extracted with virt-tar-out.

If you need any other information, please let me know. Thanks.

Thanks -- actually I don't think we need that.

Please try the following package and up-vote it if it
works for you:

Thanks, it worked well for me :)

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libguestfs-1.20.1-3.fc18

By the way, the reason why my ad-hoc patch (disabling virtio-scsi) worked may have nothing to do with virtio-scsi. As in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=894241#c11 , it resolved the issue because I rebuilt it to apply the pactch, probably.
