Description Richard W.M. Jones 2009-07-03 22:04:17 UTC 
Take typical (eg) Linux image, and do:

 guestfish -i linuximage
 ><fs> find /

The find command will run for quite a while and
eventually the qemu process exits.

This shouldn't happen ..
Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2009-07-05 14:51:12 UTC 
This is find / running in verbose mode:

find string: /sysroot/bin/ps
find string: /sysroot/bin/dbus-send
find string: /sysroot/proc
guestfsd: failed to encode reply body
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

libguestfs: error: guestfs_find reply failed, see earlier error messages

It fails in daemon/proto.c which (inexplicably) exits instead of return
an error message ...
Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2009-07-05 15:07:42 UTC

Comment 17 Richard W.M. Jones 2010-03-27 10:38:32 UTC 
In 1.0.88, the error message is faulty.  Reopening.

Comment 18 Richard W.M. Jones 2010-03-27 11:12:02 UTC 
Fixed the error message:

><fs> find /
libguestfs: error: find: guestfsd: failed to encode reply body
(maybe the reply exceeds the maximum message size in the protocol?)
