| PackageDescription | libguestfs is a set of tools for accessing and modifying virtual machine (VM)
disk images. You can use this for viewing and editing files inside guests,
scripting changes to VMs, monitoring disk used/free statistics, P2V, V2V,
performing partial backups, cloning VMs, and much else besides.
libguestfs can access nearly any type of filesystem including: all known types
of Linux filesystem (ext2/3/4, XFS, btrfs etc), any Windows filesystem (VFAT
and NTFS), any Mac OS X and BSD filesystems, LVM2 volume management, MBR and
GPT disk partitions, raw disks, qcow2, VirtualBox VDI, VMWare VMDK, CD and DVD
ISOs, SD cards, and dozens more. libguestfs doesn't need root permissions.
All this functionality is available through a convenient shell called
guestfish, or use virt-rescue to get a rescue shell for fixing unbootable
virtual machines. |
