libguestfs and proxmox ?

[adoII]

Hi,

are there any experiences in using libguestfs under proxmox 1.6 ?

I am interested to use such nice commands like virt-resize with proxmox.

I am not sure, does libguestfs require libvirt and all this awful stuff ? I dont like that on my proxmox machines.

I'm fairly certain (without actually trying it) that libguestfs would work. We certainly run libguestfs on Debian.

There are x86-64 mostly-static binaries on the download page that should work.

libvirt is required, although it is only used for things like resolving guest names to disk images. In fact that wouldn't be effective on Proxmox VE because they don't use libvirt. You can just specify guest image names directly, but the binaries we ship still have a dependency on libvirt.so.0 being there even if it is not actually used.

Rich.
