Description Daisy Wu 2012-03-30 08:15:55 UTC

Description of problem:
Add support of virt-p2v to choose partition to convert. If the disk size is large, then customer will spend long time to convert redundant space.

Version-Release number of selected component:
virt-v2v-0.8.7-4.el6.x86_64
rubygem-virt-p2v-0.8.6-2.el6


How reproducible:
Always

Step to Reproduce:
1. Launch virt-p2v in source machine. 
2. Choose the convert storage device.

Actual Results:
virt-p2v only can discover whole disk

Expected Results:
virt-p2v should be able to discover partition of each disk

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-05-03 04:48:46 UTC

Since RHEL 6.3 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-03-12 17:29:38 UTC

New virt-p2v automatically skips empty parts of the disk, so
I don't think this feature is necessary.

I'm closing this bug:

 - virt-p2v has been rewritten for RHEL 7.2

 - Unofficial previews of the new version are available:
   http://oirase.annexia.org/virt-p2v/

 - If a similar bug occurs with the new version of virt-p2v,
   please open a new bug against Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 / libguestfs
