Created attachment 687684 [details] Virt-sysprep verbose output Description of problem: Trying to sysprep a new KVM virtual machine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.18.11 (libguestfs-tools) How reproducible: Virt-sysprep used to work for me, but no matter what I try now, it always fails. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a master image template VM and power off VM. 2. copy from the template to new image by either A. virt-sparsify template.img new.img B. cp --sparse=always template.img new.img 3. Run sysprep `virt-sysprep --hostname new -a new.img` Actual results: Virt-sysprep operation failed: exception: Guestfs.Error("aug_init: Augeas initialization failed") Expected results: Virt-sysprep should succeed or provide a more useful error message. Additional info: Verbose output is attached.
Additional detail about the VM and template. $ file template.img template.img: x86 boot sector; GRand Unified Bootloader, stage1 version 0x3, boot drive 0x80, 1st sector stage2 0x46800, GRUB version 0.94; partition 1: ID=0x83, active, starthead 32, startsector 2048, 10237952 sectors, code offset 0x48 $ file new.img splunk.img: x86 boot sector; GRand Unified Bootloader, stage1 version 0x3, boot drive 0x80, 1st sector stage2 0x46800, GRUB version 0.94; partition 1: ID=0x83, active, starthead 32, startsector 2048, 10237952 sectors, code offset 0x48 $ virt-inspector -a template.img libguestfs: error: aug_init: Augeas initialization failed virt-inspector: no operating system could be detected inside this disk image. This may be because the file is not a disk image, or is not a virtual machine image, or because the OS type is not understood by libguestfs. $ virt-inspector -a splunk.img libguestfs: error: aug_init: Augeas initialization failed virt-inspector: no operating system could be detected inside this disk image. This may be because the file is not a disk image, or is not a virtual machine image, or because the OS type is not understood by libguestfs. Both systems are EL6 guests with a single partition (/dev/vda1) and no swap. $ virt-filesystems -a template.img /dev/sda1
