It turns out that RHEL 5 Xen conversions don't work if the source disk is located on a block device. See patch 1/4 for the gory details. This patch series proposes a new tool called virt-v2v-copy-to-local which essentially is a way to make new virt-v2v work like the old virt-v2v, ie. copy first, convert after. Of course this is very slow and would only be used as a last resort, but I

Patch 1 was previously posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2020-June/msg00086.html to handle this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1848862 I was able to observe this bug and for me at least disabling readahead seems to cure it. Patches 2 and 3 are simplifications, removing a now-undocumented feature of virt-v2v-copy-to-local and thus simplifying greatly the

v2 -> v3: - Changes to the Curl API suggested by Pino.

v1 -> v2: - Fixed the bug with precedence of if / @. - Add some imperative list operators inspired by Perl, and use those for constructing the Curl arguments, and more. Rich.

The first commit removes the --dcpath parameter, which just makes the following stuff simpler. Since libvirt has supported getting datacenterpath from VMware since Oct 2015, it's time to drop this hairy parameter. The rest is quite a complicated series of refactorings, followed by a very simple change to add handling of snapshots taken from old virt-v2v. Rich.

Move the Curl wrapper module from virt-v2v to mllib. Use the module when virt-builder issues curl calls. Rich.

Add an optional parameter to disable this behaviour, so the Curl module in v2v won't print user-sensible data (like passwords). --- builder/checksums.ml | 1 - builder/downloader.ml | 1 - builder/sigchecker.ml | 1 - mllib/common_utils.ml | 4 +++- mllib/common_utils.mli | 7 +++++-- v2v/curl.ml | 2 +- 6 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git

v2 -> v3: - Renamed List.assoc_ -> List.assoc_lbl. - Rebased on top of current master branch. Rich.

In Std_utils we already extend Char and String. These commits take it a little further by extending List and adding a new Option submodule. All basically simple refactoring. Rich.

Hi all, I''m looking at changing the operatingsystemrelease fact for Red Hat. Linux currently just uses the kernel release as the operating system release, but I''ve got a client who wants the release to have both the specific distro (e.g., AS or EL) and the release (e.g., 3 or 4). Will this particularly annoy anyone? Anyone want to help make the release string work on
