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 Kevin Wolf 2013-03-21 10:22:02 UTC 
qemu-img convert accepts the -s parameter, but silently ignores it. This is
caused by a bad backport in commit 38d60cb2.

As the functionality isn't present in RHEL 6, it should instead error out and
show the help text as with any unknown option.

- Reproduce this issue:
host info:
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.360.el6.x86_64
kerne-2.6.32-382.el6.x86_64

# qemu-img convert -f qcow2 win8-64-virtio.qcow2 -O raw sluo.raw
            <-----it can complete successfully.
# qemu-img convert -s -f qcow2 win8-64-virtio.qcow2 -O raw sluo.raw
qemu-img: Could not open 'qcow2'
qemu-img: Could not open 'qcow2'

-Verify this issue:
host info:
kernel-2.6.32-382.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.375.el6.x86_64

# qemu-img convert -f qcow2 win8-64-virtio.qcow2 -O raw sluo.raw
            <-----it can complete successfully.
# qemu-img convert -s -f qcow2 win8-64-virtio.qcow2 -O raw sluo.raw
convert: invalid option -- 's'                             <======check here
qemu-img version 0.12.1, Copyright (c) 2004-2008 Fabrice Bellard
usage: qemu-img command [command options]
QEMU disk image utility
...

'-s' doesn't exist on RHEL6 for for the qemu-img convert, so trying to use it should result in an prompt message. 

Base on above, this issue has been fixed correctly. Set this bug to VERIDIED status, please correct me if any mistake.
