I've tested this now in three distinct farms with CentOS7.8 and

oVirt 4.3 release: OVA export files only contain an XML header and then
lots of zeros where the disk images should be.
Where an 'ls -l <vmname>.ova' shows a file about the size of the disk,
'du
-h <vmname>.ova' shows mere kilobytes, 'strings <vmname>.ova'
dumps the XML
and then nothing but repeating zeros until the end of the file.
Exporting existing VMs from a CentOS/RHEL 7 farm and importing them after
a rebuild on CentOS/RHEL 8 would seem like a safe migration strategy,
except when OVA export isn't working.
Please treat with priority!
I think the best way to get appropriate attention is to open a bugzilla for
it, providing information and logs....
In the meantime I can test in a 4.3.10 environment of mine if I have the
same problem.
