[Libguestfs] P2Vs seem to require a very robust Ethernet

[Greg Scott]

Well now this is very strange.  That P2V we started up Friday afternoon crossed into hour 52 a few minutes ago.  But in the past 3 1/2 hours, it hasn't used one more byte of disk space in the NFS Export service.  But then after firing up an strace just now, it started using space again.  What's up with that?
