Thank you! @Darkbeldin can you check if you can reproduce? If yes, we'll escalate to @florent

Darkbeldin

@olivierlambert sure let me try

Darkbeldin

@Darkbeldin I reproduce in XOA latest so I think you can escalate

olivierlambert

This one is for you @florent

@olivierlambert @fataugie thanks for the head up , I am on it
(to be fair there is like 12 sub format of vmdk from only a descriptor file linked to a raw, to a multi level sparse compressed file )

@florent I tried a barebones cloud disk from Ubuntu (22.04) in OVA format last night for grins and giggles...... and that failed with the same message.

fataugie

Any updates on this?
As of this morning's build (afadc) it's still an issue.

florent

@fataugie I am still working on it, I hope to fix it this week.

florent

@fataugie I think I found it , at least
can you test this branch ?
https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/6779

fbeauchamp opened this pull request in vatesfr/xen-orchestra

closed fix(xo-server/OVA import): revert to tar-stream@2 #6779

@florent SUCCESS!

Just grabbed and built XOCE with that branch, ran an import and it worked just as expected.

I'll probably run a half dozen more imports over the next day or so. If anything weird pops up, I'll report back but this looks like it fixed the problem.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

florent

@fataugie We'll merge it to master ASAP
thank you for your report

(If you want to import a lot of ova, maybe you can use the new import from vmware feature ? )

fataugie

@florent I would love to....but I transitioned from Hyper-V a few months ago. No VMWare to be found around here.

Without fail, these OVAs will be downloads from a variety of applications.

Thanks again!
