[Libguestfs] libguest-test-tool error report

[Mark Husted (hustedm)]

Hello Rich,

I figured out how to stop the VB services.  I then deleted the /dev/kvm.  Then I ran the libguestfs-test-tool and it said 'OK'.  Then I ran virt-resize and it was unhappy that /dev/kvm no longer existed.  I have attached the debug output for your review. 

Thanks,
Mark

There's not really a "KVM service" as such.  It is a part of the kernel is only used when you start a KVM guest.

In any case as it looks like you have VirtualBox running, my advice would be to delete the /dev/kvm file, and try running libguestfs-test-tool and/or virt-resize again.

  sudo rm /dev/kvm
