Hello everybody! I seem to be having a problem similar to

In my case i have a bit more of a trace on the permission issue but not much more

Has this issue been solved ? if so how as i do not see the resolution on the archives. Else would you all help me resolve it please?
It is very annoying to have a hundred gig disk copied over to your NFS export and then deleted because qemu or libguestfs has a permissions issue in opening it.
this is an issue with Ovirt Version 3.3.2-1.fc19
virt-v2v version is
virt-v2v --version 0.9.0
and libguestfs version and qemu version are :
libguestfs-1.22.7-4.fc19.x86_64
QEMU emulator version 1.4.2
Are you running virt-v2v as root? If so my guess is that it's this libvirt bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1045069 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1045039
The easiest thing is to disable libvirt by doing:
sudo bash export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct virt-v2v [..etc..]

yes unfortunately i am running as root.. hate doing that but
what account SHOULD i use? myself? VDSM?
sudo -u who
interesting idea.. Ill try it now on a smaller vm.
You MUST run virt-v2v as root for conversions to oVirt. It needs to both mount an nfs volume and setuid. Matt -- Matthew Booth, RHCA, RHCSS Red Hat Engineering, Virtualisation Team GPG ID: D33C3490 GPG FPR: 3733 612D 2D05 5458 8A8A 1600 3441 EA19 D33C 3490
