Interesting. I'm using a base installation of Fedora 8, 64 bit version, and all packages are directly out of the distro. The error crops up as soon as I launch the tool: [root@localhost ~]# virt-clone -d -o vm1 -n vm2 -f /opt/VMs/vm2.img Tue, 12 Feb 2008 12:25:30 DEBUG start clone with HV qemu:///system Tue, 12 Feb 2008 12:25:30 DEBUG clone device list: ['/opt/VMs/rhel4u6-3.img'] Tue, 12 Feb 2008 12:25:30 DEBUG clone device size: [0] Tue, 12 Feb 2008 12:25:30 DEBUG clone device type: [True] Tue, 12 Feb 2008 12:25:30 DEBUG Disk path not found: Assuming file disk type. ERROR: Disk size must be an int or a float. What would you like to use as the disk (path)? As mentioned, the error also crops up using the latest dev snapshot.
