NAME¶
virt-copy-in - Copy files and directories into a virtual machine disk image.
SYNOPSIS¶
virt-copy-in -a disk.img file|dir [file|dir ...] /destination
virt-copy-in -d domain file|dir [file|dir ...] /destination
WARNING¶
Using "virt-copy-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-copy-in" copies files and directories from the local disk into a
virtual machine disk image or named libvirt domain.
You can give one of more filenames and directories on the command line.
Directories are copied in recursively. The final parameter must be the
destination directory in the disk image which must be an absolute path
starting with a "/" character.
EXAMPLES¶
Update "/etc/resolv.conf" in a guest:
virt-copy-in -d MyGuest resolv.conf /etc
Upload a home directory to a guest:
virt-copy-in -d MyGuest skel /home
JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH¶
This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the
guestfish(1) "copy-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.
