Perhaps another option would be to avoid using mount/umount for iso entirely, and use something like "isoinfo" to extract the kernel, initrd, and any other files. This would probably involve a lot more code changes, and require the "isoinfo" command to be available.

I'd appreciate this capability.  We've got quite a heavily customised setup for our rack, and about the only thing that still needs sudo on the host rather than group membership is installing a Linux guest.  It'd feel tidier to get rid of that as well, as I'm never *entirely* certain about the attack surface of virt-tools.

Does anyone have a feel for how difficult this is likely to be, and whether it's sensible for a newcomer to the codebase to try?

Cheers,
