Description of problem: As the document says, If "inspect_get_format" returns "installer" (this is an install disk), then this returns true if a live image was detected on the disk. But it returns false actually. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libguestfs-1.16.10-1.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. download a valid installation DVD 2. Inspect the DVD iso as following: # guestfish $ add-ro RHEL6.2-20111117.0-Workstation-x86_64-Live.iso $ run $ inspect-os /dev/vda $ inspect-get-format /dev/vda installer $ inspect-is-live /dev/vda false Actual results: $ inspect-is-live /dev/vda false Expected results: $ inspect-is-live /dev/vda true Additional info: Also tested with FRHEL6.2-20111117.0-Workstation-i386-Live.isoe,dora-13-i686-Live.iso && Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso, none of them works as expected.
Correct some typo, sorry for the inconvenience. Additional info: Also tested with RHEL6.2-20111117.0-Workstation-i386-Live.iso,Fedora-13-i686-Live.iso && Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso, none of them works as expected.
I'm going to defer all of this installer inspection code to 6.4. There seem to be many bugs, and most likely upstream we will switch to using ISO metadata detection (from libosinfo) as a more reliable way to do this. That is not implemented yet upstream and is too large a change for 6.3.
This request was not resolved in time for the current release. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development. This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
At this point, integration with libosinfo is likely to be a RHEL 7 issue. However setting RHEL 6.5 flags just in case.
The upstream fix is: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/90e7981082a2685b235724a6dd9b737cb90fe553 This is RHEL 7 material since it involves libosinfo integration.
I'm closing this bug as WONTFIX because: (a) Not reported or affecting any customers (b) Other tools (libosinfo) give the same or better information (c) Has been around for years without attracting enough interest to fix
