When we try to allocate new clusters we first look for available ones

cluster after the ones we are trying to allocate.


This can be reproduced easily:

      qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o cluster_size=512 hd.qcow2 1M
      qemu-io -c 'write 0 124k' hd.qcow2

This reproduction fails if you use non-default refcount_order...

...so here, I think IMGOPTS also has to include refcount_bits=4, so that calling iotests './check -o refcount_bits=3' or similar doesn't fail the test.
