[Libguestfs] [PATCH v7 6/6] v2v: Add -o rhv-upload output mode (RHBZ#1557273).

[Richard W.M. Jones]

I found another problem which is sort of related to this thread.  I
hit a time-out waiting for the disk to be unlocked after creation:

https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/8081f54105bd990233f166170890192c1fd7d1f3#diff-5ca47c29ae13efa3959b8b28cf4dbd31R112
line 112

The disk size in this case is 40 GB and we currently wait 5 minutes.

On the ovirt-node there's an ‘fallocate’ process (still) running.
It's taken 23 minutes so far.

Because we didn't reach a satisfactory conclusion of the whole
sparse/format business, I am currently setting sparse = False
(format is always raw in my testing):

https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/8081f54105bd990233f166170890192c1fd7d1f3#diff-5ca47c29ae13efa3959b8b28cf4dbd31R92
line 92

I guess this is the cause of this problem in some sense.  Is there
something we can do?  I'm still unclear how to fix the sparse/format
mess, it seems unsolvable from the client side because we don't have
sufficient information to make a decision.

Rich.
