Hi
I have already fulfill a an issue, but it looks like it's not the
recommended process.
We are using a LUKS partition containing a GPT table and several partions.
With libguestfs we can open the LUKS partition and the
|/dev/mapper/<mapname>| device become available, but nested partition
are not seen by the kernel. |partprobe| need to be run (or may be
kpartx) to make partitions available in |/dev/mapper|.
AFAIK there are no simple solution.
As a workaround we use |guestfs_debug| but it's not a long term solution.
We can see two solutions:
* adding a udev rule that will automatically run partpobe when a new
device appeared in /dev/mapper
* adding a new API in libguestfs |guestfs_partprobe(device)| that can
be call by the user when needed.
What is the best best solution from your point of view?
We can help implementing it.
Regards
Philippe Midol-Monnet
