--- Comment #2 from Richard W.M. Jones (rjones@redhat.com) ---
We did indeed work around it by not doing it:
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/b2d682a4730ead8b4ae07e5aaf6fa230c5eec305
so my interest in this bug is now limited.  If you want to close it then that's
fine.

It's unfortunately triggered very rarely.  The only test I have is:

$ while guestfish -a /dev/null run -vx >& /tmp/log ; do echo -n . ; done

but that hits the bug less than 1 in 200 iterations (although more often when
run in a qemu VM using software emulation, which is where we first hit this.)

I tried to write something that could trigger it more frequently by having a
loop in a guest writing to queue/scheduler, while another loop in the guest
would write to the disk, but I couldn't seem to hit the bug at all.
