Public bug reported:
If you try to convert a blank image to qcow2 that is less than 100kiB in
size then qemu-img hangs trying to seek to the end of the file.
$ truncate --size 102399 /tmp/temp
$ qemu-img convert -p -O qcow2 /tmp/temp /tmp/temp2.qcow2
I'm finding this on all versions of qemu-img v2.
strace shows a seek loop.
ioctl(6, FS_IOC_FIEMAP, 0xb5e68dc4) = 0
_llseek(6, 0, [100000], SEEK_END) = 0
ioctl(6, FS_IOC_FIEMAP, 0xb5e68dc4) = 0
_llseek(6, 0, [100000], SEEK_END) = 0
ioctl(6, FS_IOC_FIEMAP, 0xb5e68dc4) = 0
