Re: Mounting VM filesystem on host while VM running

Hello Andrea,


https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-August/msg00339.html

This looks indeed promising. I had a look to virt-df (from the libguestfs-tools), but to install this is embarking a lot of packages that I do not want to leave on the server :-(

Kind regards
patrick

What I'd like to see is libvirt's ability to spawn commands inside
guest. But it is not that simple. I mean, the hardest part is to design public libvirt API. For instance, we'd have to deal with both blocking &
non-blocking (i.e. long-running) commands; then we would need to give
users possibility to read command's output (possibly asynchronously).
 
With this, you'd just: virDomainRunCommand(dom, 'df', '-h', NULL); or
something and you'd be good.

Not as straightforward as you'd like, but if you use QEMU you
can already achieve something similar via qemu-guest-agent.
