Also if I use the same image.qemu file and convert to vmdk format I get even smaller file which for sure is wrong as well:
qemu-img convert image.qemu -O vmdk image2.vbox ll image* -rw-r--r-- 1 *** *** 6684672 Jun 14 17:17 image.img -rw-r--r-- 1 *** *** 7012352 Jun 14 17:40 image.qemu -rw-r--r-- 1 *** *** 196616 Jun 14 17:40 image2.qemu -rw-r--r-- 1 *** *** 65536 Jun 14 18:00 image2.vbox ** Attachment added: "image2.vbox" https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1776920/+attachment/5152725/+files/image2.vbox -- 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.
