Description Ping Li 2016-04-27 10:20:38 UTC
Description of problem:
After convert the source image with the option "-S 0", the dest image will not be fully allocated.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@ibm-x3650m3-03 test]# rpm -qa | grep qemu-img
qemu-img-rhev-2.5.0-4.el7.x86_64
[root@ibm-x3650m3-03 test]# uname -r
3.10.0-382.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
3/3

Steps to Reproduce:
1.qemu-img create -f qcow2 src.qcow2 10G
2.qemu-img create -f qcow2 src.qcow2 10G
3.qemu-img convert -p -f qcow2 -O qcow2 -S 0 src.qcow2 dst.qcow2
4.qemu-img info dst.qcow2

Actual results:
[root@ibm-x3650m3-03 test]# qemu-img info dst.qcow2 
image: dst.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 10G (10737418240 bytes)
disk size: 2.1M
cluster_size: 65536
Format specific information:
    compat: 1.1
    lazy refcounts: false
    refcount bits: 16
    corrupt: false
[root@ibm-x3650m3-03

Expected results:
disk size should be greater than or eqaul to the virtual size.

Additional info:
[root@ibm-x3650m3-03 test]# qemu-img info src.qcow2 
image: src.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 10G (10737418240 bytes)
disk size: 196K
cluster_size: 65536
Format specific information:
    compat: 1.1
    lazy refcounts: false
    refcount bits: 16
    corrupt: false
