in short, ext4 filesystem support now appears to work, but there's still the issue (perhaps addressed earlier) that non-root users don't have access to KVM support but, from the perspective of libguestfs, does that really matter?
KVM makes things do a lot faster, which is always nice. You can do the following:
Thanks for this update, but autodetection does not work for me. I have an fedora.i386 system installed on my machine and autodetection tests only x86_64. Can you please add i386 or x86 arch?
I think betted detection is for qemu-kvm binary. Using qemu-kvm on systems without hardware virtualization display:
open /dev/kvm: No such file or directory Could not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support
but works well as normal qemu without accelerated virtualization.
Another problem. Using:
/autogen.sh --with-java-home=no --with-qemu=/usr/bin/qemu-kvm
displays: checking for /usr/bin/qemu-kvm... no configure: error: qemu must be installed
even if I have qemu-kvm binary in this path:
[ondrejj@work libguestfs]$ ls /usr/bin/qemu-kvm /usr/bin/qemu-kvm*
But --with-qemu=qemu-kvm works.
