Description Richard W.M. Jones 2010-04-07 19:50:00 UTC
Description of problem:

If you use a command such as 'tar-in' (or 'tgz-in') and upload more
data than you have available space, libguestfs hangs.

Example reproducer:

$ rm -f test.img
$ truncate -s 10M test.img
$ tar cf test.tar test.img
$ ls -l test.{img,tar}
-rw-rw-r--. 1 rjones rjones 10485760 2010-04-07 20:46 test.img
-rw-rw-r--. 1 rjones rjones 10496000 2010-04-07 20:46 test.tar
$ guestfish -a test.img \
    run : mkfs ext3 /dev/sda : mount /dev/sda / : tar-in test.tar /
[hangs]

To see what's going on, add the -v option to the above guestfish
command.  The last messages are:

receive_file: got chunk: cancel = 0, len = 8192, buf = 0x5d3d640
receive_file: got chunk: cancel = 0, len = 8192, buf = 0x5d3d640
