Hello,

I have here an older server, one host with external engine,  4.4.4-1.el8 installation, with a slow 2Gbit nfs storage. When I export OVAs from smaller VMs (under 40GB) it works but with bigger one, around 95GB I have problems.

I have already change the export target to a local folder, which makes the process faster and the GUI shows no errors, but when I extract the vm.ovf file, from the exported archive, it is not complete. It missing a closing part from the xml definition. The end stops here: </ovf:E

By my test before, I was able to add the closing part by hand and import the OVA, but then the VM had no disk attached. I don't know if the size is the problem, my backup script which export the VMs to the export domain works normal. I only know, that the error I can reproduce on minimum 2 VMs.

The last part of the export log looks like:

/var/log/ovirt-engine/ansible-runner-service.log:2020-12-19 12:02:52,610 - runner_service.services.playbook - DEBUG - cb_event_handler event_data={'uuid': '2ac62a85-7efa-4d14-a941-c1880bd016fd', 'counter': 35, 'stdout': 'changed: [onode-2.example.org]', 'start_line': 34, 'end_line': 35, 'runner_ident': '9ac880ce-4219-11eb-bfd8-5254000e4c2c', 'event': 'runner_on_ok', 'pid': 1039034, 'created': '2020-12-19T17:02:52.606639', 'parent_uuid': '5254000e-4c2c-ed4e-fdf7-000000000022', 'event_data': {'playbook': 'ovirt-ova-export.yml', 'playbook_uuid': 'ee4a698c-f639-49c8-8fa9-af2778f0862d', 'play': 'all', 'play_uuid': '5254000e-4c2c-ed4e-fdf7-000000000007', 'play_pattern': 'all', 'task': 'Rename the OVA file', 'task_uuid': '5254000e-4c2c-ed4e-fdf7-000000000022', 'task_action': 'command', 'task_args': '', 'task_path': '/usr/share/ovirt-engine/ansible-runner-service-project/project/roles/ovirt-ova-export-post-pack/tasks/main.yml:2', 'role': 'ovirt-ova-export-post-pack', 'host': 'onode-2.discovery.intern', 'remote_addr': 'onode-2.discovery.intern', 'res': {'cmd': ['mv', '/mnt/intern/win2016-01.ova.tmp', '/mnt/intern/win2016-01.ova'], 'stdout': '', 'stderr': '', 'rc': 0, 'start': '2020-12-19 12:02:52.560917', 'end': '2020-12-19 12:02:52.572358', 'delta': '0:00:00.011441', 'changed': True, 'invocation': {'module_args': {'_raw_params': 'mv "/mnt/intern/win2016-01.ova.tmp" "/mnt/intern/win2016-01.ova"', 'warn': True, '_uses_shell': False, 'stdin_add_newline': True, 'strip_empty_ends': True, 'argv': None, 'chdir': None, 'executable': None, 'creates': None, 'removes': None, 'stdin': None}}, 'stdout_lines': [], 'stderr_lines': [], '_ansible_no_log': False}, 'start': '2020-12-19T17:02:51.954144', 'end': '2020-12-19T17:02:52.605820', 'duration': 0.651676, 'event_loop': None, 'uuid': '2ac62a85-7efa-4d14-a941-c1880bd016fd'}}

Any ideas?
