VMware Converter Standalone produces sometimes duplicate log entries in illogical order

[tomuxi]

Hi,

Sometimes Converter produces duplicate log entries in illogical order. I saw this first time today in my session while another guy was using the same converter for his migrations in his own session. Our migrations did not overlap. My task was entering mkinitrd step at 10.02 AM but the GUI produced an illogical log entry at that time. When i killed the hung dracut process at 10:10 AM from the helper vm, the GUI again produced an illogical log entry. The corresponding two illogical entries are in the raw GUI log file also.

Regards,

-Tom

Hi,

this is a known issue, albeit not documented in release notes. It happens only occasionally. The workaround is to restart converter client.

OTOH it is not a trivial one to fix. It would most likely be fixed if/when the GUI gets rewritten.
