Re: [Libguestfs] More notes on virt-v2v 1.27.27

This is a quick way to check that virt-v2v is working for you (using libguestfs from git). $ ./run virt-builder fedora-20 [ 1.0] Downloading: http://libguestfs.org/download/builder/fedora-20.xz [ 2.0] Planning how to build this image [ 2.0] Uncompressing [ 42.0] Opening the new disk [ 53.0] Setting a random seed [ 53.0] Setting passwords Setting random password of root to kKwqFUcYYTVXUHoJ [ 53.0] Finishing off Output file: fedora-20.img Output size: 4.0G Output format: raw Total usable space: 5.2G Free space: 4.5G (86%) $ ./run virt-v2v -i disk fedora-20.img -o local -os /tmp [ 0.0] Creating an overlay to protect the source from being modified [ 0.0] Opening the overlay [ 9.0] Initializing the target -o local -os /tmp [ 9.0] Inspecting the overlay [ 14.0] Converting Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) to run on KVM virt-v2v: warning: could not update grub2 console: aug_get: no matching node (ignored) [ 32.0] Trimming filesystems to reduce amount of data to copy [ 32.0] Closing the overlay [ 33.0] Copying disk 1/1 to /tmp/fedora-20-sda (raw) [ 36.0] Creating output metadata [ 36.0] Finishing off It's not a very meaningful test because it "converts" a KVM image to run on KVM. However it's useful because it checks that everything is working, and it only takes a few minutes.
