Description

I think the underlying problem here is reliance on the state of the guest to inspect it. If we need space on the guest to perform an operation we should provide it from the host. Alternatively, actions which can be performed on the host probably should be, as the host is more of a 'known-entity'. No the problem here is it creates a large directory under /tmp on the host. The location of this directory ought to be configurable. Proposed fix: http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libguestfs.git;a=commitdiff;h=98430c35faa073c60d4c00542c090fe0407c5af7 libguestfs-1.0.64-2.el5 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 5. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libguestfs-1.0.64-2.el5 libguestfs-1.0.64-3.el5 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 5. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libguestfs-1.0.64-3.el5 libguestfs-1.0.65-2.el5 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 5. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libguestfs-1.0.65-2.el5 libguestfs-1.0.66-4.el5 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 5. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libguestfs-1.0.66-4.el5 libguestfs-1.0.67-1.el5 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 5. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libguestfs-1.0.67-1.el5 libguestfs-1.0.65-2.el5 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 5 stable repository.
