Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2011:0147 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE virt-v2v and libguestfs bug fix update 2011-01-13 18:28:09 UTC

Description Matthew Booth 2010-07-02 16:20:56 UTC 
Description of problem:
# rm /var/lib/virt-v2v/transfer.iso
# umask 0077
# virt-v2v -ic esx://yellow.rhev.marston/?no_verify=1 -o rhev -osd blue:/nfs/export --network rhevm RHEL3-32
qemu: could not open disk image /var/lib/virt-v2v/transfer.iso
child process died unexpectedly at /usr/bin/virt-v2v line 483.
...

The reason for this is that virt-v2v creates transfer.iso with permissions 600, owned by root:root. When writing to RHEV, the libguestfs appliance is launched as 36:36, which doesn't have permissions to read this file.
