virt-tar-in
virt-tar-in(1) Virtualization Support virt-tar-in(1)
NAME
virt-tar-in - Unpack a tarball into a virtual machine disk image.
SYNOPSIS
virt-tar-in -a disk.img data.tar /destination
virt-tar-in -d domain data.tar /destination
zcat data.tar.gz | virt-tar-in -d domain - /destination
WARNING
Using "virt-tar-in" on live virtual machines can be dangerous, potentially causing disk corruption. The virtual machine must be shut down
before you use this command.
DESCRIPTION
"virt-tar-in" unpacks an uncompressed tarball into a virtual machine disk image or named libvirt domain.
The first parameter is the tar file. Use "-" to read the tar file from standard input. The second parameter is the absolute target
directory to unpack into.
EXAMPLES
Upload a home directory to a guest:
virt-tar-in -d MyGuest homes.tar /home
JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH
This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "tar-in" command. For anything more complex than a trivial
copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly.
OPTIONS
Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see the full list of options.
SEE ALSO
guestfish(1), virt-cat(1), virt-copy-in(1), virt-copy-out(1), virt-edit(1), virt-make-fs(1), virt-tar-out(1), <http://libguestfs.org/>.
