[Bug 915971] [NEW] New command "guestmount"

[Michael Still]

Public bug reported:

The latest nova-compute adds a new command which needs sudo privs:

2012-01-13 22:24:27,385 DEBUG nova.utils [-] Running cmd (subprocess):
sudo guestmount --rw -a /var/lib/nova/instances/instance-0000000c/disk
-m /dev/sda1 /tmp/tmpXrLkev from (pid=2743) execute /data/backups-
meta/linux/x220/data/src/openstack/nova/nova/utils.py:201

This command is not set up in /etc/sudoers.d/nova_sudoers, and therefore
my test instance prompts for the password. Interestingly I can't find
the command guestmount packaged anywhere, so I'm not sure what its meant
to be doing.

The code to call guestmount seems to have been around for a while, so
I'm not sure why this is only just coming up now. Perhaps I only just
noticed it.

I see that guestmount is packaged for precise, but not for oneiric.
