Bug description:
  Hi all,
  I'm trying to convert a qcow2 image file to the vmdk (on Ubuntu Server 12.04):

  # qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O vmdk -o Stream spv-2912.qcow2 spv-2912-3.vmdk 
-o subformat=streamOptimized
  VMDK: can't write to allocated cluster for streamOptimized
  qemu-img: error while writing sector 65: Input/output error

  Same result with any input format. Others subformats work but the
  StreamOptimized is by far the most important one. The only workaround
  I found is to migrate to raw and then to use VBoxManage (VirtualBox).
