Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
qemu-img is not able to use information from the image metadata (like the information in qemu-img map). This information can be used to speed up conversion of images.
Example:
$ qemu-img create prova.img 1G
Formatting 'prova.img', fmt=raw size=1073741824
Without feature:
$ time qemu-img convert -f raw -O raw -t none prova.img prova2.img
real 0m0.504s
user 0m0.129s
sys 0m0.347s
With feature:
$ time ./qemu-img convert -f raw -O raw -t none prova.img prova2.img
real 0m0.281s
user 0m0.002s
sys 0m0.009s
The effect is even more visible with the "-p" option to qemu-img.
Reproduce and verify this issue with the same steps as comment #0.
# qemu-img create prova.img 1G
Formatting 'prova.img', fmt=raw size=1073741824
# qemu-img info prova.img
image: prova.img
file format: raw
virtual size: 1.0G (1073741824 bytes)
disk size: 0
With the unfixed qemu-kvm version:
# rpm -q qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-30.el7.x86_64
# time qemu-img convert -f raw -O raw -t none prova.img prova1.img
real 0m0.435s
user 0m0.058s
sys 0m0.308s
With the fixed qemu-kvm version:
# rpm -q qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-38.el7.x86_64
# time qemu-img convert -f raw -O raw -t none prova.img prova2.img
real 0m0.024s
user 0m0.002s
sys 0m0.001s
Base on above, this issue has been fixed correctly. Move to VERIFIED status.
