Created attachment 948906 [details] Detailed log file Description Virt-v2v will fail when using relative path for -i ova Version: virt-v2v-1.28.1-1.2.el7.x86_64 libguestfs-1.28.1-1.2.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Prepare a directory containing the esx ova files. # pwd /var/lib/libvirt/images # ls esx-rhel6 esx-rhel6-disk1.vmdk esx-rhel6.mf esx-rhel6.ovf 2.Use virt-v2v to convert the ova file,input a relative path. # virt-v2v -i ova -os default esx-rhel6 -of raw [ 0.0] Opening the source -i ova esx-rhel6 [ 0.0] Creating an overlay to protect the source from being modified [ 0.0] Opening the overlay virt-v2v: error: libguestfs error: guestfs_launch failed. This usually means the libguestfs appliance failed to start or crashed. See http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.html#debugging-libguestfs or run 'libguestfs-test-tool' and post the *complete* output into a bug report or message to the libguestfs mailing list. If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the complete output: virt-v2v -v -x [...] If I put the absolute path,virt-v2v works well. Actual results： Virt-v2v will fail when using relative path for -i ova Expected results: Virt-v2v didn't fail when using relative path for -i ova Additional info: 1.Attach the debug info.
