[mdiwan@server3 ~]$ sudo getenforce
[sudo] password for mdiwan: 
Disabled

[mdiwan@server3 ~]$ cat /etc/fstab | grep "tmp"

[mdiwan@server3 ~]$ mount | grep "/tmp"
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw)


selinux is disabled on this server .. at least till we figure this out


but yes /tmp is a tmpfs mount 

which makes me wonder how it holds a 100 gig file.. it clearly
doesn't ... it seems to have a temporary  "hardlink" to the OVIRT nfs
export share when virt-v2v2 is running???

It looks like this is correctly setting the environment variable:

^ see that it's set correctly here.

So this is not the bug I was thinking of.

(In fact it's obvious now I look closer.  This has nothing to do with
libvirt, and the error message is being generated by libguestfs
earlier on)

Is there some other reason that libguestfs would not be able to open
that file in /tmp?  Perhaps there is an SELinux AVC?  Or /tmp has
strange permissions ...?  Is /tmp a tmpfs mount?

I believe the actual code path you're hitting is this one:

https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/stable-1.22/src/drives.c#L660

I'm not exactly sure why that fails.

Rich.
