However it would still be wrong to mount the place where libguestfs
creates the appliance (by default /var/tmp) on NFS.
If you do this then you'd want to mount the large NFS storage
somewhere else, and there would be a new environment variable
(V2V_TMPDIR was my proposal IIRC) which you would point to the NFS
mount. /var/tmp would be local storage, and used for the appliance.
(There are other ways to do this if for some reason /var/tmp must be NFS.)
Thanks Igor and Tomas for helping to get access to the environment.

[PATCH virt-v2v] v2v: Allow temporary directory to be set on a global basis.
...ed, it's helpful to be able to put the overlay
files on an externally mounted PVC, which might be using NFS and
shared between containers. But putting the libguestfs appliance on
NFS in a shared location is certainly not recommended.
This allows the two locations to be set separately:
VIRT_V2V_TMPDIR - location of large temporary files, can use NFS
and may be shared
LIBGUESTFS_CACHEDIR - location of libguestfs appliance
Another motivation for this patch is to allow more reliable cleanup of
temporary files by an external process, as described in the updated
documentation....
