functions in OCaml:

Just wanted to note that upstream we have split up the
old, very large, libguestfs git "monorepo", splitting out:
guestfs-tools
12 years after this bug was filed, and because this is the top hit for
"qemu-img" and stdin / stdout, I want to point out that this is now
possible in Debian and other Linux distros using nbdcopy (in package
libnbd-bin) + qemu-nbd.
To stream from any qemu format such as qcow2 out to stdout:
guestfsd: error while loading shared libraries: libtirpc.so.3: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
Did something change with how libtirpc gets packaged on Debian
or upstream?

I was able to reproduce a crashing bug in qemu-system-arm on armv7
host. I'm _not_ going to claim this is the same bug that Debian is
seeing, but it might be.
It's deep inside TCG and unfortunately there is not a lot of useful
information in the stack trace. However it's clearly a bug in qemu.
The test failure looks like a problem in libguestfs (or maybe qemu)
rather than nbdkit.

I'm slightly surprised that libguestfs ever worked on MIPS. We've

libguestfs-test-tool to hit its default timeout (600 seconds).
It's not really possible to tell what is causing the hang. We'd
FYI, on Fedora we have a 'libguestfs-rescue' sub-package which pulls
in some extra dependencies that are useful in the virt-rescue shell.
This allows us to have larger dependencies for people who want to use
virt-rescue, without needing those dependencies elsewhere.
I'm not sure if this solves
I am able to reproduce this bug with supermin 5.1.5 by doing:
$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
$ sudo apt-get update

After that:

Since I wrote the message #26 above, we've done a lot of work upstream
