Hello,
I'm currently developing an OS deployment tool similar to G4U (ghost for
unix).
This is a very basic tool
- boot an initrd
- configure network
- ssh deployment-server "cat image.dd" > /dev/sda
- reboot
I'm using qemu to test my initrd and deployment tool and i would like
replace my raw image format with qcow images (size/compression and crypto)
- ssh deployment-server "cat image.qcow" | qemu-img - -O raw /dev/sda
The problem is qemu-img can't read from stdin, so i tried :
- mkfifo deploy-in.fifo
- qemu-img convert deploy-in.fifo -O raw /dev/sda
- ssh deployment-server "cat image.qcow" > deploy-in.fifo
qemu-img: Could not open 'deploy-in.fifo'
Is there any way to achieve this goal ?
Cheers,
François Visconte
