Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: qemu
1) Ubuntu 8.04,
CPU Intel DualCore.
Linux athlon 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Jun 18 14:15:37 UTC 2008 x86_64
GNU/Linux
2) qemu-0.9-1ubuntu1
3) "qemu-img create -e -f qcow encrypted_qcow.img" should ask for a
password and create an encrypted disk image.
4) Despite asking for a password, it just prints: "Formatting
'encrypted_qcow.img', fmt=qcow, encrypted, size=2097152 kB".
Then, when trying to start qemu:
$ qemu -m 512 -cdrom ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso -hda encrypted_qcow.img
-boot d
nothing happens (no new window opens, qemu is probably running since the
command prompt does not return, however it does not show any CPU
activity. CTRL+C interrupts it, no error is printed.
Similarly, when using "qemu-img convert -e existing_image.qcow2 -O qcow2
encrypted_image.qcow2" (existing_image.qcow2 is a working installation
of openSuse), qemu-img asks for a password and creates a copy of the
image. When trying to load the new encrypted image with Qemu, nothing
happens.
