Bug 1139543

Upstream fix:

https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/be1c6965006dec258b915c9561ac66c8cb36dfe6

This will appear in libguestfs >= 1.27.40.

I can also reproduce this bug issue with new package version:
virt-v2v-1.27.41-1.1.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-1.27.41-1.1.el7.x86_64

1.Prepare a guest with no space left.
# df -h
Filesystem                    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root  6.5G  6.5G     0 100% /
tmpfs                         939M   76K  939M   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1                     485M   35M  426M   8% /boot

2.Use virt-v2v to convert the guest.
# virt-v2v -o rhev -os 10.66.90.115:/vol/v2v_auto/auto_export --network rhevm demo

If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the 
complete output:

  virt-v2v -v -x [...]

Since the error has not been improved, assigned back, and please check whether the patch in Comment 1 has been included by libguestfs package, thanks.

df isn't a very accurate way to display the actual free space in
a filesystem.  It shows free space available to non-root users,
and the -h option obscures things further.

Use:

$ stat -f /

instead.  I'm betting there is free space on this filesystem, but
df is just not showing it to you.

I tried as you suggestion on guest.
By root user:
# stat -f /
  File: "/"
    ID: dd12bb426bbe0a3a Namelen: 255     Type: ext2/ext3
Block size: 4096       Fundamental block size: 4096
Blocks: Total: 1687234    Free: 5401       Available: 0
Inodes: Total: 429088     Free: 333905

By normal user:
$  stat -f /
  File: "/"
    ID: dd12bb426bbe0a3a Namelen: 255     Type: ext2/ext3
Block size: 4096       Fundamental block size: 4096
Blocks: Total: 1687234    Free: 5352       Available: 0
Inodes: Total: 429088     Free: 333878

do you think it's ok to prove the guest with no space left.

You're not quite triggering the error message.

The disk itself has 5401 free blocks.  Because the block size
is 4096 bytes, that means you have 22122496 bytes free.

The "Available: 0" in this case means that non-root users are
unable to use this space, because Linux filesystems reserve a
percentage of their space for the root user.  (Use 'tune2fs -l'
to find out what percentage).  Non-root users are irrelevant
because all conversion operations are done ignoring this
reserved space.

virt-v2v checks to see if you have at least 20000000 bytes
free on the root partition, which in this case you do
(20000000 < 22122496).  So the error is not printed.  But
the margin is so small that if you created even a 3 MB file on
the root filesystem then you should get the error.

Thanks for your help, Richard W.M. Jones.
I tried again with package:
virt-v2v-1.27.41-1.1.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-1.27.41-1.1.el7.x86_64

1. Prepare a guest with no space( Login guest and check)
# stat -f /
  File: "/"
    ID: dd12bb426bbe0a3a Namelen: 255     Type: ext2/ext3
Block size: 4096       Fundamental block size: 4096
Blocks: Total: 1687234    Free: 4096       Available: 0
Inodes: Total: 429088     Free: 333880

2. Use virt-v2v to convert the guest.
# virt-v2v -o rhev -os 10.66.90.115:/vol/v2v_auto/auto_export --network rhevm demo

If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the 
complete output:

  virt-v2v -v -x [...]

Can get the friendly error message, so move from ASSIGNED to VERIFIED.
