[Libguestfs] virt-v2v F18 guest on F18 failure

[Richard W.M. Jones]

I think I've *discounted* IDE as a potential problem:

  $ rm /tmp/test1.img
  $ truncate -s1G /tmp/test1.img
  $ guestfish <<EOF
  set-attach-method appliance
  add-drive-opts /tmp/test1.img iface:ide readonly:true
  run
  mount /dev/sda /
  EOF
  libguestfs: error: mount: /dev/sda on / (options: ''): mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail or so

(the expected error)

vs:

  $ guestfish <<EOF
  set-attach-method appliance
  add-drive-opts /tmp/test1.img iface:ide readonly:true
  run
  mkfs ext2 /dev/sda
  mount /dev/sda /
  EOF

(no error)

Also tried:

 - Adding name:vda

 - Running isoinfo-device before the mount.

 - Running vfs-type before the mount.

I still couldn't reproduce this.

Rich.
