I know the subject is a bit wordy but let me try to explain

I have a 4.1 installation that I am migrating to 4.4. I placed the storage domain into maintenance and then rsync'ed it to the storage I am using for 4.4. In 4.4 I import the domain and it comes in fine, however, when trying to import some VM's it fails because it says it cannot find a disk. The disk ID's I cannot find anywhere in 4.1 or 4.4 so I opened OVF_STORE after upgrading the pool in 4.4 and look at the ovf file for some of the VM's that are failing to import

I see this in the ovf configuration file -

    <Section xsi:type="ovf:SnapshotsSection_Type">
      <Snapshot ovf:id="e300fa3b-eee4-4b96-9103-45115081db57">
        <Type>ACTIVE</Type>
        <Description>Active VM</Description>
        <CreationDate>2019/12/19 16:47:48</CreationDate>
        <Memory>07d3447c-c640-4163-9cf1-74ce126d702a,59b5cfdf-015b-0333-004b-000000000397,8c48ea33-dc34-403a-90d2-a3e78776404c,1757809b-9685-4315-a92e-3ea82dc6d8a8,94a2c2b3-e02e-4b05-80eb-6f4b7a9701e7,248a9fd1-61f0-4c5a-b6ab-4630d433c6fa</Memory>
      </Snapshot>
    </Section>
  </Content>
</ovf:Envelope>

These are the disk ID's I can see failing to import in engine.log

I am aware that importing a VM cannot support snapshots and have found multiple mailing list posts around this, however, I do not have any snapshots visible in 4.1 UI.

I also tried modifying OVF_STORE by untar'ing it and editing the ovf files directly, however, this does not work as it ends up overwritten by ovirt with the previous configuration 

Any ideas? As noted, I cannot see any snapshots listed in 4.1 source pool so I therefore cannot remove this stale configuration from the source and upon importing in to 4.4 it fails because it cannot find the disks

I tried import partial and that still fails which to me seems like a bug because the idea of the import partial is to still register the VM even if it cant find disks 

I also tried scanning domain for disks and update OVF's in the UI and it does not help anything
