Re: [Libguestfs] VM name starting with a dash

13:19 < tgolembi[m]> is there a trick how to convert a VM with name that starts with a dash? It's being confused for virt-v2v argument. :) Yes you can do this: $ virt-v2v -o [etc...] -- vmname

Note all -options need to come before the "--". For example: $ virt-builder fedora-35 $ mv fedora-35.img ./-fedora-35.img $ virt-v2v -i disk -o null -- -fedora-35.img [ 0.0] Setting up the source: -i disk -fedora-35.img [etc] It's quite possible this could hit other corner-cases inside virt-v2v (eg when running subprocesses), so if you see bugs please file them.
