This sounds like it should be raised as a Fedora bug?

Connect from remote host
by Andrés García
Hi,
I configured a Fedora 12 beta system to accept connections from other
system as explained
here:
http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/page/RemoteDigest
To test it I connected using virt-manager in that system to itself and
it worked, but when I tried
from a F11 virt-manager in another system it fails, I also tried
connecting with virsh:
# virsh
virsh # connect qemu+tcp://192.168.0.43
It tells me there is no route to host despite being able to ping
192.168.0.43.
Any ideas what could be wrong? F12 has a firewall I am not aware of?
Thanks,
Andres Garcia

Do you have a reference to how the bridges would be crafted in libvirt
XML? Which version of libvirt is required?

Mount guest filesystems in the host
by Richard W.M. Jones
Little bit quiet on this list at the moment, so here's some news ...
We just built a package called 'libguestfs-mount' in Rawhide which
lets you mount virtual machines' filesystems on the host, using FUSE.
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=139621
Use it like this (as non-root):
mkdir /tmp/mnt
guestmount -a disk.img -m /dev/VG/Root --ro /tmp/mnt
where you can replace 'disk.img' with any guest's disk image, and
/dev/VG/Root with the root device in that guest.
Or to get virt-inspector to do the hard work of looking in the guest
and arranging the disks for you:
guestmount $(virt-inspector --ro-fish MyGuest) /tmp/mnt
where MyGuest is the name of the guest (as known by libvirt).
And then you can just look into /tmp/mnt and browse the guest's disk
using whatever text or graphical tools you want.
To unmount do:
fusermount -u /tmp/mnt
