# virt-rescue -a recovery2.immortaldata.net.raw
febootstrap-supermin-helper: ext2: parent directory not found: /lib: File not found by
ext2_lookup
This is because you need to run:
sudo update-guestfs-appliance

Updated from official Ubuntu Precise Pangolin server last night.
Package: libguestfs0
Architecture: amd64
Source: libguestfs
Version: 1:1.14.8-1
Package: febootstrap
Architecture: amd64
Version: 3.12-1
Unfortunately we found out today that Ubuntu 12.04's libguestfs
package is largely broken. For more information, see:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2012-April/msg00028.html
There is no solution to the kernel bug that affects Ubuntu (only).

Bit busy now, but I'll have a look at the rest later.
