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 identified two situations in which this would currently be useful (see explanation in patch 4/4). This is also available in my git repo: https://github.com/rwmjones/libguestfs/commits/master Rich. _______________________________________________ Libguestfs mailing list Libguestfs@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs
