      @ysageev I'm running across the same error when trying to do some imports, for testing I deleted the vmsd file (didn't think that would do anything at all) and got an error about not being able to find the VM (which is what I thought would happen), re-added the vmsd but still getting this "cannot read properties of undefined" error.

      I also tried with a different VM, this time a Windows one (was Ubuntu on the first try) and get a slightly different error:

      Cannot convert undefined or null to object

        @brezlord have you got a more detailed error on the xo logs side ?

        @planedrop I pushed a little fix to ensure it does not crash when vmsd file is missing or empty

                        @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.
