similar to: [PATCH 1/2] Try to load the loop module before running mkinitrd

We were seeing 100% failure rates transferring 10G disk images from ESX on a particular setup. We also weren't spotting the transfer failure, and dying with a strange error from libguestfs. These 2 patches fix the error check which should have made it obvious what was failing, and the underlying error.

The following patches are where I'm currently at with ESX support. I can now import a domain from ESX along with its storage. Note that I'm not yet doing any conversion. In fact, I've never even tested past the import stage (I just had an exit in there). The meat is really in the 4th patch. The rename of MetadataReader->Connection was because the Connection is now really providing

With this patchset I have successfully[1] imported a RHEL 5 guest directly from ESX with the following command line: virt-v2v -ic 'esx://yellow.marston/?no_verify=1' -op transfer RHEL5-64 Login details are stored in ~/.netrc Note that this is the only guest I've tested against. I haven't for example, checked that I haven't broken Xen imports. Matt [1] With the exception of

RHEL 4's mkinitrd will fail to recognise that root is on LVM when running on a recent kernel/udev due to changes in naming.

Although I can't reproduce, I seem to have had an incomplete transfer which wasn't picked up by the existing error handling.

This patch refactors the data transfer code with several goals: * Have a common read(source)/write(target) loop so that common processing can happen in the middle of it, e.g. format change/progress bar * Provide volume metadata to transfers to allow smarter reading/writing, e.g. of sparse files * Simplify the data transfer code The patch *isn't* NFC because there are some minor behaviour

RHEL 3 doesn't have a dynamic /dev. kmod-virtio creates devices nodes for vdX block devices based on what the major number of virtblk was at the time it was installed. This is, in turn, based on the order the modules were loaded in initrd. To try to preserve this precarious state of affairs, when adding virtio drivers to a new initrd we always load the same drivers as kmod-virtio in the same

These patches combine HVSource and HVTarget into a single Converter. This should make it more obvious where to hack without losing any practical flexibility. GuestOS remains separate. GuestOS is now a misnomer, because it's really only a Linux distro abstraction. It will be useless for Windows, for example. Functions which you'd expect to be different on a non-RH distro should live in

These 2 patches are mostly code motion. They were prompted by an apparent augeas error in BZ 613967 which didn't display useful error message. The error seems to happen in Converter::Linux. GuestOS::RedHat had a handy function which displayed verbose augeas error messages. This function moves into the new module where it can be used by both modules. The second patch is an consequential tidy

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
