Description Daniel Berrangé 2008-02-04 15:13:41 UTC

Description of problem:
The input validation code for disks is mistakenly causing virt-clone command to
reject all disk images. This basically makes the virt-clone tool useless. Since
virt-clone is a new tool we're adding in 5.2, it really ought to work


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-virtinst-0.300.2-1.el5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
# virt-clone -o rhel5pv -n rhel5pv-cloned -f /var/lib/xen/images/rhel5pv-cloned.img
ERROR:  Disk size must be an int or a float.
What would you like to use as the disk (path)? 
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Disk image is rejected

Expected results:
Guest is cloned

Additional info:
Patch already upstream
