The issue here is that the NFS server > side, that exports /var/lib/libvirt/swtpm and is also the migration > source at some point, says this: We expect both sides to have the same storage configurtion. ie both must be NFS. I'm pretty sure our code for handling disks does not work when you have a local FS on one side, which is exported to the other side as NFS. Conceptally that's not something someone would do in production, since they you make the target host dependant on the src compute host, which is poor for resilience.
