Description Josh 2016-03-30 15:40:31 UTC

Description of problem: When trying to convert a .OVA file with multi-boot operating systems to the qcow2 format so I can use it with KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) I receive the following error message:

virt-v2v: error: libguestfs error: filesize: /var/lib/rpm/Name: No such file or directory

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

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

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libguestfs-tools-c-1.28.1-1.55.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-1.28.1-1.55.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-xfs-1.28.1-1.55.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-winsupport-7.2-1.el7.x86_64
virt-v2v-1.28.1-1.55.el7.x86_64

How reproducible: 100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run this command below:
virt-v2v -i ova $OVA_FILE_LOCATION -o local -of qcow2 -os /var/tmp
Note: Make sure you use an OVA file with two vmdk files in it.
2. When prompted to choose the root filesystem that contains the main operating system from the list below choose 1 or 2. Both give the same error.
3. Finally the error appears.

Actual results:
virt-v2v: error: libguestfs error: filesize: /var/lib/rpm/Name: No such file or directory

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

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

Expected results:
I expected it to complete successfully with the OVA file having been converted to qcow2 format.

Additional Information: The /var/lib/rpm/Name does exists on my system and does appear to be accessible to a regular user. Not sure why it still says no such file or directory exits when it is clearly there.

This path is within the guest.  The inspection has found that the guest is RPM-based, and thus it is trying to detect which applications are installed (virt-v2v needs to know what are the installed kernels, for example).

Can you please provide a full log of v2v, with the two parameters mentioned above?  Note that it might contain private data, so please check it before attaching it.

Also, would it be possible for you to provide the .OVA?

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2016-03-30 16:04:53 UTC

Please run the virt-v2v command with -v -x options and attach
the *full* output to this bugzilla.

Comment 8 Richard W.M. Jones 2017-02-16 13:50:23 UTC

Closing with insufficient data again.

If you retest this then please:

(1) Use the latest version of virt-v2v.

(2) Capture the full virt-v2v -v -x output.

(3) Capture /etc/fstab from the guest.
