It looks like my problem is different, since I'm not seeing this:
qemu-img: error while writing sector 65: Input/output error
But maybe, it is a light in the end of the tunnel...

I have tried, many times, to use qemu-img to create StreamOptimized for
VMWare ESXi 6.0 OVAs.
It does NOT work.
After days of research, I replaced qemu-img, by vboxmanage, then, it
worked!
Now, I'm using something this:
--
vboxmanage convertfromraw packer/output-vm.raw
I'm confused- this is marked as affecting qemu-kvm in precise, but the
preceding patch (c6ac36e) which introduced the bug is not there either.
So I'm going to mark this as not affecting precise unless someone speaks
up to say that we in fact need the whole dependent series.
** Changed in:
This bug was fixed in the package qemu - 1:2.3+dfsg-5ubuntu6

qemu (1:2.3+dfsg-5ubuntu6) wily; urgency=medium
* Make qemu-system-common and qemu-utils depend on qemu-block-extra
to fix errors with missing block backends. (LP: #1495895)
* Cherry pick fixes for vmdk
My patch has landed:
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/3efffc3292d94271a15b1606b4a56adf6c6f04ed
I think we can resolve this bug as fixed. Just one note for those how
are trying to use streamOptimized images with VMware: you need to patch
the VMDK version because VMware products accept only
With the latest codebase there is no error message but the converted
streamOptimized image is incorrect. I have a patch for this and will
submit it for review soon.
