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.

Can you please grant access to the affected image? (or upload an image we can use to reproduce it).

Comment 4 Hanna Czenczek 2015-08-24 20:52:33 UTC
Fixed upstream with 3e5feb6202149e8a963a33b911216e40d790f1d7, we'll see whether a backport for rhev-7.3.0 is needed or whether that commit will be included by rebase.

Comment 5 Ademar Reis 2015-09-08 20:44:35 UTC
Fixed upstream, patch is simple, impact on customers is real.

Comment 6 Miroslav Rezanina 2015-09-15 10:50:40 UTC
Fix included in qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-23.el7

Comment 7 Qian Guo 2015-09-21 02:35:04 UTC
Reproduced with qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-15.el7.x86_64/
Steps:
# qemu-img info win7-64-sp1-virtio.qcow2 
image: win7-64-sp1-virtio.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 30G (32212254720 bytes)
disk size: 7.8G
cluster_size: 65536
Format specific information:
    compat: 0.10
    refcount bits: 16
# qemu-img convert -c -f qcow2 -O qcow2 /home/win7-64-sp1-virtio.qcow2 /home/win7-64-bak-compress.qcow2
qemu-img: error while compressing sector 9418752: Input/output error

# qemu-img info win7-64-bak-compress.qcow2 
image: win7-64-bak-compress.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 30G (32212254720 bytes)
disk size: 2.0G
cluster_size: 65536
Format specific information:
    compat: 1.1
    lazy refcounts: false
    refcount bits: 16
    corrupt: false



So this bug is reproduced.

Verify this bug with qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-24.el7.x86_64

Steps as above:
# qemu-img convert -c -f qcow2 -O qcow2 /home/win7-64-sp1-virtio.qcow2 /home/win7-64-bak-compress1.qcow2 -p
    (100.00/100%)

# qemu-img info win7-64-bak-compress1.qcow2 
image: win7-64-bak-compress1.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 30G (32212254720 bytes)
disk size: 3.5G
cluster_size: 65536
