This mail is regarding these attached patches which will add Veritas Filesystem(VxFS) and Volume Manager(VxVM) support to libguestfs. Since we are modifying the libguestfs library code for commercial purpose, to honor the LGPL license we are sending our changes
for review and request to merge these changes to upstream libguestfs git repository.</span></p>
