Libguestfs - Aug 2014 - Re: libguest-test-tool error report

Hello Rich,

Well, you were correct.  I removed the /dev/kvm and it did a lot more.  Sadly, I
cannot tell if it was successful.  The output file is the same size as when I
started, so I am hesitant to declare success.

Let me know what you think. 

Thanks,
Mark

This is the same problem as before.  KVM is broken.  Remove the /dev/kvm file to
make it fall back to software emulation.

It failed.  Seems to be a problem with the partition table in the
source image.  That could be caused by almost anything, including
incompatible qcow2 variants, general disk corruption, an actual bad
partition table, ...

Hello Rich,

Well, then I am going to abandon that image.

Again, thank you for your time and patience.
