[libvirt-users] man page
It seems to me that the man page is not complete. Personally, I had to read the code to understand. Propose to amend paragraph of included files on: -i GUEST-PATH=HOST-PATH, --include GUEST-PATH=HOST-PATH File (HOST-PATH) to copy into custom dir (GUEST-PATH). -I HOST-PATH, --includefile=HOST-PATH Copy all files listed in inputfile into the appropriate temporary sandbox directories. File should contain a line like: GUEST-PATH=HOST-PATH Directory (or subdirectory) of GUEST-PATH path must to exist in the guest filesystem (use --mount) Maybe I misunderstood how to use inclusion, but it says even more about what leadership should be written in detail. P.S. On the use of the network too. -- F1ash

It sounds like you are complaining about libvirt-sandbox? Are you comfortable providing your proposed improvements as an actual patch against the source code?
Directory (or subdirectory) of GUEST-PATH path must to exist in the guest filesystem (use --mount)

Again, providing the actual content you want to see, instead of making us guess, will help this get resolved faster. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org

Ups, sorry... Virt-sandbox man page. Instead, this paragraph: "-I HOST-PATH, --includefile=HOST-PATH Copy all files listed in inputfile into the appropriate temporary sandbox directories. " -- F1ash
Yet one question about virt-sandbox: Man page say about 3 type of mounting (host-bind,host-image,guest-bind). These types can be used together (in combination) or they can be used only except two other? -- Fl@sh

You can repeat the --mount option many times and use any combination of the different mount types. You just have to be careful about the target paths - the mounts will be processed in the order you specify on the cli. So eg, you should specify a mount at /var before one at /var/log otherwise your /var mount will hide the /var/log contents Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
Yet one question about "-I"-key in virt-sandbox manpage: Which is format for files listed in inputfile ? Also: manpage say, that this files will to copied "into the appropriate temporary sandbox directories". Which is a directories (in guest /tmp only or another guest dirs too), how & where they are specified? -- Fl@sh

Thanks for the feedback - could I convince you to file bugs about these requests, so that we don't loose track of them. http://sandbox.libvirt.org/bugs/#report Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
