Comment 3 Miroslav Rezanina 2014-01-14 18:43:05 UTC
Fix included in qemu-kvm-1.5.3-36.el7

Comment 5 Qian Guo 2014-01-21 08:28:14 UTC
Reproduced this bug with qemu-kvm-1.5.3-19.el7.x86_64
Steps:
1. Check manpage of qemu-img
# man qemu-img
---
Other
           QEMU also supports various other image file formats for
           compatibility with older QEMU versions or other hypervisors,
           including VMDK, VDI, VHD (vpc), qcow1 and QED. For a full list of
           supported formats see "qemu-img --help".  For a more detailed
           description of these formats, see the QEMU Emulation User
           Documentation.
---

2. Check format under "drive"
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -drive format=?
Supported formats: vvfat vpc vmdk vhdx vdi sheepdog sheepdog sheepdog raw host_cdrom host_floppy host_device file qed qcow2 qcow parallels nbd nbd nbd iscsi gluster gluster gluster gluster dmg cow cloop bochs blkverify blkdebug

From the manpage doc, no vhdx found, but under qemu-kvm cli, there're vhdx and vpc both.


So this bug is reproduced 

Verify this bug with qemu-kvm-1.5.3-38.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1.Check manpage docs of qemu-img
# man qemu-img 
...
Other
           QEMU also supports various other image file formats for
           compatibility with older QEMU versions or other hypervisors,
           including VMDK, VDI, VHD (vpc), VHDX, qcow1 and QED. For a full
           list of supported formats see "qemu-img --help".  For a more
           detailed description of these formats, see the QEMU Emulation User
           Documentation.
...

2.Check format under "drive"
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -drive format=?
Supported formats: vvfat vpc vmdk vhdx vdi sheepdog sheepdog sheepdog raw host_cdrom host_floppy host_device file qed qcow2 qcow parallels nbd nbd nbd iscsi gluster gluster gluster gluster dmg cow cloop bochs blkverify blkdebug

Result: Both manpage docs and qemu-kvm cli  have  "vpc" and "vhdx".

So according to above, this bug is fixed by qemu-kvm-1.5.3-38.el7.x86_64
