[Libguestfs] P2Vs seem to require a very robust Ethernet

[Greg Scott]

Trying that same P2V again, this time with everything connected to a
brand new HP Procurve 2910al-48G.  All NICs on my hosts now show up at
1000 Gb now and this P2V still failed, this time after running 5 hours.
The source server is an aging HP Proliant ML110 running Windows 2003 (I
think).  The conversion server is a 64 bit Fedora VM running in a RHEV
environment.  The RHEV Export domain lives in an older Storagetek NAS.  

For the next troubleshooting step, we'll brew up another NFS server from
somewhere and eliminate the Storagetek.  

Here is an extract from /var/log/messages.  

[root at Fedora16-64P2V log]# grep p2v-server messages

And here is the trace log file from virt-p2v-server:
