  • /usr/sbin/exportfs

  • /usr/sbin/kpartx

  • /usr/sbin/dmsetup

  • /usr/bin/qemu-nbd

  • /usr/bin/guestmount

  • /usr/bin/fusermount

  • /bin/mount

  • /bin/umount

  • /usr/sbin/parted

  • /usr/sbin/nbd-client

  • /usr/bin/tee

  • /opt/vprotect/scripts/vs/privileged.sh

  • /usr/bin/yum

  • /usr/sbin/mkfs.xfs

  • /usr/sbin/fstrim
