WARNING
Using "virt-tar-in" on live virtual machines, or concurrently with other disk editing
tools, can be dangerous, potentially causing disk corruption. The virtual machine must be
shut down before you use this command, and disk images must not be edited concurrently.
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.
