Surely this isn't right - this code is "library" code and shouldn't be
using fail() ? It should be re-raising the exception...
Not sure about this, all the other apps in virtinst use fail() now in
exceptions even virt-convert, or am I misunderstanding something?
I just grepped and didn't see that. The only fail() usages are in
virtinst/cli.py. That's right and proper: library code like that in
virtconv/ (or most of virtinst/) should raise exceptions to allow the
caller to decide the correct behaviour (if I'm a daemon, I'd better keep
running; a GUI, I'd better bring up a dialog box, etc.).
Cole updated it only a few days ago, here's what I'm seeing at least:
grep -r "fail(" virt-convert
fail("Couldn't clean up output directory \"%s\": %s" %
fail("Couldn't import file \"%s\": %s" %
fail("Couldn't import file \"%s\": %s" % (options.input_file, e))
fail("Could not create directory %s: %s" %

Hmm, above we're importing virt-image as SCSI disks, but exporting as
IDE - can you clarify this?
We can't export as scsi without qemu-img vmdk scsi support. It's in the
What does this do? I had no idea that vmdk format was specific to either
SCSI or IDE - how does that work?
It's specific within the disk image file itself, not just the
configuration. I have no specifics other than that, but I believe it is
just a block tag on the device, from looking at the qemu-img vmdk scsi
support patch
It's a fine restriction, but it seems inconsistent: why are we assuming
that virt-image import is using SCSI? Wouldn't a better default be IDE?

Never caught that, I always assumed the disks were scsi, are they not?
virt image isn't specific so I'm guessing we will need someone else to
chime in and clarify this.
