It's simply not possible to make it work without the NFS server.
That's just how it works. I suggest you need to ask whoever runs your
NFS server to fix it so it has more capacity.
BTW 1.27.64, uploading later today, will fix some Windows conversion bugs.

Rich,
This is not a question of capacity, the NFS share has more than 3 Tb free space, and my 9
virtual disks are 750Gb...

By "capacity", I meant the capacity to handle intensive write requests
without falling over, which is what seems to be happening in this case.
Try running a stress testing tool against the NFS server.

There's some breaking news on this issue.
During our internal testing we also observed problems where NFS writes
would hang, with virt-v2v but also with other tools (it's an NFS bug).
This was fixed by updating the kernel on the virt-v2v client to the
latest version.

Hi Richard,
Can you tell me the minimal Kernel version needed to kill this issue ?
I have this one : kernel-3.10.0-123.8.1.el7.x86_64
