virt-v2v failed to convert KVM guests images with error "No operating system could be detected inside this disk image"
Issue
When trying to convert an existing KVM guest with virt-v2v to import it in RHEV fails with this message:
find: failed to restore initial working directory: Permission denied
No operating system could be detected inside this disk image.
This may be because the file is not a disk image, or is not a virtual machine
image, or because the OS type is not understood by virt-inspector.
If you feel this is an error, please file a bug report including as much
information about the disk image as possible.
