Re: [Libguestfs] Virtualbox vdi Input Format and man pages
running with -v -x I see this just above the failure:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,

In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.

I am undoubtedly doing something wrong but cannot spot it.
Here is the xml file <https://bpaste.net/show/bd4df241ee37>
Error message:

virt-v2v: error: inspection could not detect the source guest (or physical
machine).
Assuming that you are running virt-v2v/virt-p2v on a source which is
supported (and not, for example, a blank disk), then this should not
happen.
No root device found in this operating system image.
If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the
complete output:
virt-v2v -v -x [...]
I'm stuck here. I imagine the error is probably obvious but... not to me.
