Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description
virt-v2v prints warning: /files/etc/fstab/8/spec references unknown device "cdrom"

Version:
virt-v2v-1.27.53-1.1.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-winsupport-7.1-4.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-1.27.53-1.1.el7.x86_64
virtio-win-1.7.2-1.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Before conversion,prepare a vm with a cdrom device specified in fstab
in guest,fstab entry:
/dev/cdrom   /media/cdrom    auto    exec  0 0

2.Use virt-v2v to convert the guest.

3.After conversion,check guest file /etc/fstab
/dev/cdrom   /media/cdrom    auto    exec  0 0

Actual results:
virt-v2v prints warning: /files/etc/fstab/8/spec references unknown device "cdrom". 
 You may have to fix this entry manually after conversion.

Expected results:
There should be no warning as actual results.

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-09-26 18:35:10 UTC
It seems likely that the old virt-v2v printed the same
warning.  However I've suppressed the warning in virt-v2v >= 1.27.56:

Comment 4 zhoujunqin 2014-09-30 09:24:53 UTC
I can reproduce it with package:
Then try to verify it with new build:
libguestfs-1.27.56-1.1.el7.x86_64
virt-v2v-1.27.56-1.1.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1.Before conversion,prepare a vm with a cdrom device specified in fstab
in guest,fstab entry:
/dev/cdrom         /media/CDROM   auto exec  0  0

2.Use virt-v2v to convert the guest.

Since no warning like "/files/etc/fstab/8/spe" showing, move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED.
