Hello,
I'm having a problem when trying to use virt-sysprep against vms that have
rbd disk images. When I run virt-sysprep I get the following error:

My Disk definition is as follows:

name='libvirt-pool/server-clone-test'>

I can resolve this error by changing the name of the libvirt-pool:
>> <source protocol='rbd'
name='/libvirt-pool/server-clone-test'>
But this causes an error when attempting to boot the vm:

I'm currently using libguestfs-1.22.4 and I did run into a known bug [1]
that I was able to patch, but I don't think that's related to the issues
with disk naming.
Is there a way to give virt-sysprep a rbd with the -a flag, or is there a
better way to sysprep vms? I would like to avoid having to edit the vm
config if possible.
This is a bug basically. I have filed a bug report here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1026688
It would be helpful to try with a newer version of libguestfs. Ubuntu
has just pushed the 1.24.0 package. I don't know if it'll help or
not, but it would be useful to know if the behaviour changes.
