Public bug reported:

On updated an ugrade Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy with a clean checked ext3 filesystem
i'm trying to convert a vmware image to virtualbox image...

The vmdk vmware image is this: 
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ubuntu ubuntu  9778102272 2007-07-03 15:50 xpanna.vmdk   ( 
9.778.102.272 )

My hard disk is /dev/sda2 total ext3 size 72Gb

When i run this command:
qemu-img convert -f vmdk xpanna.vmdk -O raw xpanna.img

it run and i get this img file:
-rw-r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 78652716032 2008-03-12 10:15 xpanna.img

The result file is with a 78.652.716.032 > hard_disk /dev/sda2 total
size > hard_disk /dev/sda2 free space available

but the system don't take care of this and write the file on itself.

When i 
df -h
File system            Dimens. Usati Disp. Uso% Montato su
/dev/sda2              72G   63G  5,5G  92% /

varlock               502M     0  502M   0% /var/lock
udev                  502M   56K  502M   1% /dev
devshm                502M   12K  502M   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1              74G   19G   55G  26% /media/winxp


Only when i try to convert the .img image to virtual box image with thiss 
command: 
vboxmanage convertdd xpanna.img xpanna.vdi 

i get the:

....
Converting VDI: from DD image file="xpanna.img" to file="xpanna.vdi"...
Creating fixed image with size 78652716032 bytes (75010MB)...
Failed (VERR_DISK_FULL)!
