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 tech 2019-07-18 19:32:43 UTC 
Description of problem:
We're trying to do an offline local file Xen VPS to KVM VPS conversion. The source is a dd raw image backup file.  The dd image is from a CentOS 6 Xen hvm host CentOS 7.6 VPS. We're trying to move it to a replacement KVM host (in a later step).

When running virt-v2v on the backup image file it errors with "guestfsd: error: aug_init: / (flags 1): Internal error (please file a bug): get.c:1296:Unexpected lens in concat 80..80"

Version:
[root@virt-v2v ~]# virt-v2v -V
virt-v2v 1.38.2rhel=7,release=12.el7_6.2,libvirt
[root@virt-v2v ~]#

How reproducible:
every run

Steps to reproduce:
1. export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct
2. virt-v2v -i disk vm6881_backup -o local -os /tmp

Actual results:
errors and exits

Expected results:
completion without a program aborting error

Pino, is this for augeas component instead?
Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2019-07-22 09:49:37 UTC 
Please run virt-v2v with the -v -x options and attach the complete output to the bug.

Added the debug output requested.

Command ran:
LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1 LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 virt-v2v -v -x -i disk vm6881_backup -o local -os /tmp
Comment 6 Pino Toscano 2019-07-23 07:23:24 UTC 
Hm still the same issue, an internal error in augeas.

From what you said, I take that the host (i.e. where virt-v2v runs) is CentOS 7.6, is that correct?
Which version of augeas is installed there? Please paste the output of `rpm -qa '*augeas*' | sort`

As the input is a local disk, we can try to diagnose this issue a bit more: please run
$ guestfish -v -x --ro -a vm6881_backup -i aug-init / 517
(note that it will take much longer than the virt-v2v invocation you used so far)
and attach here its complete stdout + stderr.

Hello,

Guestfish output requested attached.  Yes fully updated CentOS 7.6 test VPS to do the conversion.

[root@test-virtv2v-conversion ~]# rpm -qa '*augeas*' | sort
augeas-libs-1.4.0-6.el7_6.1.x86_64
[root@test-virtv2v-conversion ~]#

Thanks for assist!
Comment 9 Richard W.M. Jones 2019-07-30 09:58:11 UTC 
It does seem as if this is genuinely an Augeas bug.  The debug output is:
