Can this be done with like a 1M example file that you could copy off in all stages.
Provide the commands you use like 1. create 2. do ?? 3. convert Then for Mac and Linux you'd have M1/M2/M3 L1/L2/L3 files that can all be attached here to be evaluated for what might be broken. IMHO In the current state there is neither enough data for good debugging, not enough steps to reproduce what exactly you faced. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1776920 Title: qemu-img convert on Mac OSX creates corrupt images Status in QEMU: New Bug description: An image created by qemu-img create, then modified by another program is converted to bad/corrupt image when using convert sub command on Mac OSX.
