                    @brezlord I found it : guestOS is first used as a string, and then with additionnal properties

                    can you pull and try again ?

                        @florent you've fixed it. The task has started. I'll report back when the import has finished. XO is saying 1 hour.

                            @brezlord you may also try the "thin=true" option, that will take longer, but will build a thin disk, without the unallocated sectors ( the progress is , for now, only visible in the xo logs side )

                                @florent The import was successful, the VM is up and running. I will try another the "thin=true" option.

                                            @olivierlambert Got this working myself as well, very seamless once everything is prepped for it!

                                            I do have a question though, since I noticed you mentioned the thin=true here, so doing this without that command creates a thick provisioned disk? Maybe I misunderstood that in the blog post.

                                            I noticed mine took around 2.5 hours to complete a VM with 6 disks but the total data usage on disks was only around 20GB, so seems very slow, but if it's transferring the thick provisioning, then that is a different story. (in case it matters everything is 10GbE here).
