Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.

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.
