Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 809401
inspection doesn't recognize Fedora 17+ (because of grub2 and UsrMove)

It would be good to fix this for RHEL 6.3, and I think essential to fix it for RHEL 6.4 since it is bound to affect virt-v2v in the near future. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #809361 +++ Inspection doesn't recognize Fedora 18 guests, because of grub2 and UsrMove. ><fs> run ><fs> list-filesystems /dev/vda1: unknown /dev/vda2: ext4 /dev/vg_f18rawhidex64/lv_root: ext4 /dev/vg_f18rawhidex64/lv_swap: swap ><fs> file /dev/vda1 \0 "RV\276\033\201\3509\001^\277\364\201f\213-\203}\010" ><fs> file /dev/vda2 Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data, UUID=9fcd9921-b5c0-4b67-83e4-cb18c3dba140 (extents) (huge files) ><fs> inspect-os ><fs> set-trace 1 ><fs> inspect-os libguestfs: trace: inspect_os libguestfs: trace: umount_all libguestfs: trace: umount_all = 0 libguestfs: trace: list_devices libguestfs: trace: list_devices = ["/dev/vda"] libguestfs: trace: vfs_type "/dev/vda" libguestfs: trace: vfs_type = "" libguestfs: trace: mount_ro "/dev/vda" "/" libguestfs: trace: mount_ro = -1 (error) libguestfs: trace: list_partitions libguestfs: trace: list_partitions = ["/dev/vda1", "/dev/vda2", "/dev/vda3"] libguestfs: trace: vfs_type "/dev/vda1" libguestfs: trace: vfs_type = "" libguestfs: trace: mount_ro "/dev/vda1" "/" libguestfs: trace: mount_ro = -1 (error) libguestfs: trace: vfs_type "/dev/vda2" libguestfs: trace: vfs_type = "ext4" libguestfs: trace: mount_ro "/dev/vda2" "/" libguestfs: trace: mount_ro = 0 libguestfs: trace: is_dir "/etc" libguestfs: trace: is_dir = 0 libguestfs: trace: is_dir "/bin" libguestfs: trace: is_dir = 0 libguestfs: trace: is_dir "/share" libguestfs: trace: is_dir = 0 libguestfs: trace: is_file "/grub/menu.lst" libguestfs: trace: is_file = 0 libguestfs: trace: is_file "/grub/grub.conf" libguestfs: trace: is_file = 0 libguestfs: trace: is_file "/hurd/console" libguestfs: trace: is_file = 0 libguestfs: trace: is_dir "/log" libguestfs: trace: is_dir = 0 libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path "/windows" libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path = NULL (error) libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path "/winnt" libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path = NULL (error) libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path "/win32" libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path = NULL (error) libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path "/win" libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path = NULL (error) libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path "/System Volume Information" libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path = NULL (error) libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path "/System Volume Information" libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path = NULL (error) libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path "/FDOS" libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path = NULL (error) libguestfs: trace: umount_all libguestfs: trace: umount_all = 0 libguestfs: trace: vfs_type "/dev/vda3" libguestfs: trace: vfs_type = "LVM2_member" libguestfs: trace: mount_ro "/dev/vda3" "/" libguestfs: trace: mount_ro = -1 (error) libguestfs: trace: list_md_devices libguestfs: trace: list_md_devices = [] libguestfs: trace: available "lvm2" libguestfs: trace: available = 0 libguestfs: trace: lvs libguestfs: trace: lvs = ["/dev/vg_f18rawhidex64/lv_root", "/dev/vg_f18rawhidex64/lv_swap"] libguestfs: trace: vfs_type "/dev/vg_f18rawhidex64/lv_root" libguestfs: trace: vfs_type = "ext4" libguestfs: trace: mount_ro "/dev/vg_f18rawhidex64/lv_root" "/" libguestfs: trace: mount_ro = 0 libguestfs: trace: is_dir "/etc" libguestfs: trace: is_dir = 1 libguestfs: trace: is_dir "/bin" libguestfs: trace: is_dir = 0 libguestfs: trace: is_dir "/share" libguestfs: trace: is_dir = 0 libguestfs: trace: is_file "/grub/menu.lst" libguestfs: trace: is_file = 0 libguestfs: trace: is_file "/grub/grub.conf" libguestfs: trace: is_file = 0 libguestfs: trace: is_file "/hurd/console" libguestfs: trace: is_file = 0 libguestfs: trace: is_dir "/log" libguestfs: trace: is_dir = 0 libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path "/windows" libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path = NULL (error) libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path "/winnt" libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path = NULL (error) libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path "/win32" libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path = NULL (error) libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path "/win" libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path = NULL (error) libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path "/System Volume Information" libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path = NULL (error) libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path "/System Volume Information" libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path = NULL (error) libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path "/FDOS" libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path = NULL (error) libguestfs: trace: umount_all libguestfs: trace: umount_all = 0 libguestfs: trace: vfs_type "/dev/vg_f18rawhidex64/lv_swap" libguestfs: trace: vfs_type = "swap" libguestfs: trace: inspect_os = [] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.17.24 --- Additional comment from rjones@redhat.com on 2012-04-03 05:25:27 EDT --- Fixed upstream in commit 5c8a241e5cd119f436a050ddbbf7ea73f83ff8e4.
Unofficially fixed in libguestfs 1.16.15-1.el6 (without qa-ack I cannot add this bug to the erratum).
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Cause: In Fedora 17, /bin is a symbolic link, not a directory. Consequence: libguestfs could not inspect Fedora 17+ guests. Fix: libguestfs inspection has been changed so that it can recognize Fedora 17+ guests. Result: virt-inspector, and other virt tools, and guestfish, can now work on Fedora 17+ guests.
