Libguestfs - Sep 2015 - virt-v2v : 3 hours logs looping/hanging/doing things before starting upload

Hi,

[This msg follows what I asked this morning on IRC, where I wrote that :]

After a good number of successful P2V using 
virt-p2v-livecd-1.28.1-1.49.1-el7.iso, I'm stuck at converting an old 
Suse Linux 10 64 bits.

Suse linux 10 64 bits, using  virt-p2v-livecd-1.28.1-1.49.1-el7.iso to 
P2V towards oVirt. After a nice connection to the P2V server, the P2V 
GUI is showing its usual very verbose log (supermin, etc...) and got 
stuck into a loop showing a 3 pages log of one single long line 
beginning with "libguestfs: trace: command_lines = [...", and I see no
NFS mounting neither any disk filling.

Then...

Coming back from lunch break, I'm witnessing the upload process has 
began. So eventually, it took 3 solid hours of unknown looping before 
starting the upload...
Now I see the NFS disk filling, so I'm confident it's going to be fine.

IRC readers asked for the logs, so here are the link :
(the upload is still going on)

Judging from this description, it was hanging when using Augeas, after
the part where it detects the list of installed kernel packages (in
the log file, after it prints "installed kernel packages in this
guest").

Why it should hang there is a bit of a mystery.  There is nothing
unusual and no errors in the log.

There is an fstrim command which takes 86 seconds to run, but that's
not 3 hours.

Anyway, I don't know, but as long as it eventually completes I guess
there was no problem in the end.

Rich.
