If the transfer iso was mounted during conversion, virt-v2v would always give the following error on shutdown: (in cleanup) umount: /tmp/transferb7icam: umount: /sysroot/tmp/transferb7icam: not found at /home/mbooth/src/virt-v2v/blib/lib/Sys/VirtV2V/GuestOS/RedHat.pm line 1171. This was because the GuestOS::RedHat cleanup was being called implicitly on exit, which is after umount_all has been called explicitly on the libguestfs handle. This change garbage collects the guestos explicitly before the libguestfs...

daemon.c does just a chroot, without chdir. The result is that pwd does not work correctly (it causes fs/dcache.c:prepend_unreachable() to add the unreachable string). A workaround is to add "cd /" before each sh command. ><fs> mount /dev/sda2 / ><fs> sh "cd / ; chroot / ; /bin/pwd" / ><fs> sh "/bin/pwd" (unreachable)/ ><fs> sh

One of the things we would really like to be able to do for V2V is to install a new driver in a Windows guest. There are a couple of reasons for this: * The guest may not be bootable without the driver installed, for example because the underlying virtual hardware has changed from vmscsi to virtio. * If the guest can boot, the alternative is to modify the guest to run a script on next boot.

This adds the mdadm-create API for creating RAID devices, and includes various fixes for the other two patches. Rich.

Now that we can gather diagnostic info, I think I know why our P2Vs kept failing last week. Another one just died right in front of my eyes. I think either the Ethernet or NFS server at this site occasionally "blips" offline when it gets busy and that messes up P2V migrations. The RHEV export domain is an NFS share offered by an old Storagetek NAS, connected over a 10/100 Ethernet.

Just spent a little time poking around w/ p2v and am attaching the following pseudo-code for consideration. Note the patches aren't commit ready yet, just looking for thoughts - The first is a fix to get client image building process working on F17. It seems the version of ksflatten there didn't expand the nested %includes which was causing errors (also --interpreter image-minimizer

Previously, only the LibVirtXML connection translated network and bridge names in imported metadata. This change moves this functionality in Converter, making it available to LibVirt connections as well. At the same time, the format of the config file is switched to XML. The primary driver for this is that the allowable syntax of a foreign network/bridge name is not known. Rather than create a
