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the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.
Verify this bug with component:
qemu-img-0.12.1.2-2.415.el6_5.3.x86_64
Step:
1. Create an image with 'cluster_size=512,preallocation=metadata', and then query the information.
# time qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o cluster_size=512,preallocation=metadata disk.img 4G; time qemu-img info disk.img
Result:
After step1,
Formatting 'disk.img', fmt=qcow2 size=4294967296 encryption=off cluster_size=512 preallocation='metadata'
real 5m52.712s
user 0m4.461s
sys 0m11.529s
image: disk.img
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 4.0G (4294967296 bytes)
disk size: 530M
cluster_size: 512
real 0m0.006s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.004s
Also tested with default cluster_size and 'preallocation=metadata', the resule shows below.
# time qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata disk.img 4G; time qemu-img info disk.img
Formatting 'disk.img', fmt=qcow2 size=4294967296 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 preallocation='metadata'
