[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1367365] Re: qemu-img fixed vhd issues

[Thomas Huth]

Triaging old bug tickets... can you still reproduce this issue with the
latest version of QEMU? Or could we close this ticket nowadays?
Otherwise, can you provide some test images or a description how to
create such images?

Title:
  qemu-img fixed vhd issues

Status in QEMU:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  qemu-img returns fixed vhd images file format to be raw.

  This happens because only the header is seeked for image signatures
  when getting the image format. In fact, unlike dynamic vhd images,
  differencing vhds don't have the footer copied in the header.

  An easy fix would be to just search the last 512B for the 'conectix'
  signature.

  Also, the fixed vhds created by qemu-img seem to be corrupted from
  Powershell POV.
