Re: [Libguestfs] Virtualbox vdi Input Format and man pages

Guests consist of the disk images, plus copious metadata. When you give just the disk image to virt-v2v (‘-i disk disk.img’), it has to make many guesses about the metadata. See this file for details: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/master/v2v/input_disk.ml Sometimes these guesses will be suboptimal, and by supplying the correct metadata you can get a more correct conversion (‘-i libvirtxml’ or even better getting the true metadata from VirtualBox).
