Libguestfs - Sep 2014 - IRC question: supermin: ext2fs_namei: parent directory not found: /lib64/pkgconfig: File not found by ext2_lookup

00:18 < dtrainor> Hello.  Trying to virt-v2v and using 1.27-55 for
testing, and I'm running in to this:
                  http://fpaste.org/137605/14120326/
00:18 < dtrainor> I'm using this version because I need both ova input
file format support, as well as local output
                  file support
00:18 < dtrainor> basically the error appears to be:  supermin:
ext2fs_namei: parent directory not found:
                  /lib64/pkgconfig: File not found by ext2_lookup
00:20 < dtrainor> Some old bugs indicate this might be caused by not
having enough free space:
                  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=743024
00:20 < dtrainor> But I don't see any of my disks appearing to get
used up

The paste was:

libguestfs: command: run: rm
libguestfs: command: run: \ -rf /root/libguestfs-1.27.49/tmp/libguestfsWXUYCZ
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a bug.

However I need the complete debugging output, as it says in the
error message in capital letters.

Please don't edit or truncate debugging output when posting.

So in particular I need to know:

 - What precise distro you are using.

 - Version of libguestfs (looks like 1.27.49)

 - Version of supermin

 - Version of ntfs-3g.

 - Full output from 'libguestfs-test-tool'.  It is very important that
   I can see the complete output.
