Guest is Fedora 21.  Host is CentOS 7.2

Guest not have an unusual number of files.  At least looking at the number
of inodes used:
Filesystem      Inodes  IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/vda3      2894304 164989 2729315    6% /

So... 165,000 files?  My F23 system which imported in 2 minutes has
174,442 inodes used, albeit significantly more free:

Filesystem       Inodes  IUsed    IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/vda3      23080448 174442 22906006    1% /

Another difference is ext4 (F21) vs xfs (F23).

Thanks.  Worst case I can probably provide you the OVA.
