With the original 5TB qcow2, this was 100% reproducible. The qcow2 was bootable just fine. However anaconda would hang at launch if this qcow2 was the backing for the single /dev/vda device. However, I can't create another qcow2 that behaves this way so far.
I tried to reproduce it, but anaconda starts as normal, no problems, no hang.
Discussed in 2013-12-09 Blocker Review meeting [1]. Voted to punt because it looks like there is a real problem but cmurf lost the image that reproduces it and cannot immediately recreate it; we will delay the determination until we can say whether it's plausible to block on the bug (can reproduce it again, or tell what's going on from the trace).

I've tested this 6 ways to Sunday and cannot reproduce.
