Hi, <div>I am using libguestfs 1.12.0 and I am facing a problem with it .</div><div>I am using guestfs python bindings to "launch" a vdi image file . </div><div>It works fine except immediately after a VM is stopped(which uses the same vdi file) </div>
<div>i.e in normal conditions launch command works but when a vm (which uses the same vdi file) is started - stopped , a call to "launch" command hangs the terminal. Please help . </div><div>this is the output of the libguestfs_debug : </div>
