[Libguestfs] Need Help

[Priyanka Ranjan]

Hello Richard,
One more question, you mentioned that "hot plugging" is supported from *CentOS
7 *and gave me a link. That link says

 "In libguestfs ≥ 1.20, you may add drives and remove after calling
"guestfs_launch" <http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#guestfs_launch>.
There are some restrictions, see below. This is called*hotplugging*."

When I executed "sudo yum install libguestfs-tools" on CentOS 6.5, it
installed libguestfs 1.20.11. So if we fix the current qemu issue  then can
we use "hotplugging" in CentOS 6.5? Do you see some other issues? Do you
recommend CentOS 7 only for the "hotplugging"?

Many Thanks for all your help.
