That change was not back-ported to the version of virt-v2v on CentOS 7.2. But if I understand things correctly it should appear in CentOS 7.3. Is waiting for Centos 7.3 an option for you? > I just looked through my ovirt host and canot find "convert_linux.ml" > anywhere, so I have no idea how to actually apply this patch locally. You can't just patch the code localy (it's not Python).
