...ence of that is a recent failure when converting from KVM to oVirt (so : _V_2V), SOLVED by installing the correct directories in the correct places. As I recently switched in this almost-new virt-p2p version (0.9.1), I was able to activate some useful logs that are available there : https://www.ecarnot.net/tmp/virt-p2v-server.1415622286.log.gz It has been days since I'm trying to contact Matthew via IRC, but he seems to love travelling away for it, and I pray he would find a minute to read this and give a hint. Thank you, Best regards, -- Nicolas Ecarnot

...re. Googling around lead me to try things like quotaoff, checkquota and so on, but was useless. I must add that a couple of months ago I unmounted everything and successfully passed a planned ocfs2.fsck on this partition. Are these errors severe? What must I do to get rid of them? -- Nicolas Ecarnot -- Nicolas Ecarnot

...ndows client, the dfsroot server and the dfs target are all nicely dns-resolving each other, including their reverses. I also tried with the FQDN but with no luck. The error logs is more than useless. I don't really know in which direction to search. You'll surely have hints? -- Nicolas Ecarnot

...you for having answered. On this conversion, I have no choice but succeed. I also tried the old livecd+netcat+dd option, but the OS did not even boot, even if I copied the MBR and double check the special flag with an hex editor ("FF"). So I will keep trying until success. -- Nicolas Ecarnot

...o insure our future P2V will succeed. But according to what I understood so far, I'm not sure one can install such a P2V server, independent of any oVirt setup. As a matter of fact, I'll be glad to test the last libguestfs version, but I don't know where I could use it? -- Nicolas Ecarnot

OK the Windows "argument list too long" thing should be fixed by hivex-1.3.10-5.7.el7 which is in the usual place.
