4:38 a.m.
For conversions[*] which take longer than 30 minutes it can happen
that the HTTPS authorization cookie that we fetched from VMware when
we first connect expires. This can especially happen when there are
multiple disks, because we may not "touch" (therefore autorenew) the
second disk while we are doing the long conversion. This can lead to
failures, some of which are silent: again if there are multiple disks,
fstrim of the non-system disks can fail silently resulting in the copy
step taking a very long time.
The solution to this is to use the new nbdkit-curl-plugin
cookie-script feature which allows nbdkit to automatically renew the
cookie as required.
During the conversion or copying steps you may see the cookie being
autorenewed:
nbdkit: curl[3]: debug: curl: running cookie-script
nbdkit: curl[3]: debug: cookie-script returned cookies
This removes the ?user and ?password parameters from Nbdkit_sources.-
create_curl because they are no longer needed after this change.
Note for future: if we need to add them back, we must prevent both
user and cookie_script parameters from being used at the same time,
because simply having the user parameter will try basic
authentication, overriding the cookie, which will either fail (no
password) or run very slowly.
This change requires nbdkit >= 1.22 which is checked at runtime only
if this feature is used.
[*] Note here I mean conversions not the total runtime of virt-v2v.
When doing the copy the cookie does not expire because it is
continuously auto-renewed by VMware as we continuously access the disk
(this works differently from systems like Docker where the cookie is
only valid from the absolute time when it is first created). This
change also implements the cookie-script logic for copying.
