Then I created my blank 'disk' file and tried to run virt-rescue on it. It crashed out with an error from febootstrap.
First of all, debug this properly:
=====================================================================
(1) What is the full error message?
[...]
# 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
=====================================================================
(3) What version of libguestfs & febootstrap are using and where did you get them from?
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.
