[Libguestfs] About Guest running Tiny Core Linux

[Arup Raton Roy]

Hi,

I am using Tiny Core Linux for the guests running on KVM. Is it possible to
use libguestsfs tools for this kind of VMs? For example, VM_TC (the name of
the VM provided in libvirt) uses a qcow2 disk image. This disk image is
created from iso file of Tiny Core Linux using qemu-img utility. My host is
ubuntu 12.04. I have tried to use virt-ls tool but could not succeed and is
receiving the following error. Your help in this regard is highly
appreciated.

virt-ls -d VM_TC /
virt-ls: no operating system was found on this disk

If using guestfish '-i' option, remove this option and instead
use the commands 'run' followed by 'list-filesystems'.
You can then mount filesystems you want by hand using the
'mount' or 'mount-ro' command.

If using guestmount '-i', remove this option and choose the
filesystem(s) you want to see by manually adding '-m' option(s).
Use 'virt-filesystems' to see what filesystems are available.

If using other virt tools, this disk image won't work
with these tools.  Use the guestfish equivalent commands
(see the virt tool manual page).
