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.

Description Sibiao Luo 2014-07-22 05:08:34 UTC 
Description of problem:
I'm trying to convert a qcow2 image file to the vmdk, but it fail to convert with i/o error and can't write to allocated cluster for streamOptimized.
BTW, 
1.Also tried other subformat "monolithicSparse(default), monolithicFlat, twoGbMaxExtentSparse and twoGbMaxExtentFlat" which did not hit this issue.
2.Also tried rhel7 which did not hit this issue, it can finish converting successfully.
3.Also tried rhel6.5GA qemu-kvm version which also hit it, so this issue is not a regression.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host info:
# uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm-rhev
2.6.32-492.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.430.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.prepare a qcow2 image file.
# qemu-img info RHEL-6.6-20140718.0-Server-x86_64.qcow2
image: RHEL-6.6-20140718.0-Server-x86_64.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 10G (10737418240 bytes)
disk size: 3.0G
cluster_size: 65536
2.try to convert a qcow2 image file to the vmdk with streamOptimized subformat specified.
# qemu-img convert -p -f qcow2 RHEL-6.6-20140718.0-Server-x86_64.qcow2 -O vmdk test.qed -o subformat=streamOptimized

Actual results:
after step 2, it fail to convert with i/o error and can't write to allocated cluster for streamOptimized.
# qemu-img convert -p -f qcow2 RHEL-6.6-20140718.0-Server-x86_64.qcow2 -O vmdk test.qed -o subformat=streamOptimized
VMDK: can't write to allocated cluster for streamOptimized
error while writing sector 2600: Input/output error

Expected results:
I should convert a qcow2 to vmdk with streamOptimized subformat specified successfully.

Comment 2 Ademar Reis 2014-07-22 19:44:05 UTC 
This is a corner case in the write support for VMDK. It works in RHEL7/upstream, so closing as WONTFIX in RHEL6 due to limited capacity.
