Title: qemu-img cannot read VMDK4 file Status in QEMU: Fix Released Bug description: Unable to read any vmdk4 type files. Goal was to convert to a qcow2, this worked after emitting code. OS is Centos linux 2.6.32. I pulled the latest git tree down for qemu to see if this was resolved, it is not. Starting program: /home/rhubbard/QEMU/qemu/qemu-img info -f vmdk /root/Juniper/beta1candidate-07122012-disk1.vmdk There seems a mismatch with the l1_backup_tble_offset. this is now a uint64 type. The value is actually "-512" because of this and this causes the code check at line 418 in vmdk.c to erroneously think there is a backup table. This causes vmdk open to fail. and message qemu failed to open .... from debug; gdb) x/4x &(s->l1_backup_table_offset) 0xa61cd0: 0xfffffe00 0xffffffff 0x00a62770 0x00000000 (gdb) p *s $1 = {hd = 0x0, l1_table_offset = 0, l1_backup_table_offset = -512, l1_table = 0xa62770, l1_backup_table = 0x0, l1_size = 64, l1_entry_sectors = 65536, l2_size = 512, l2_cache = 0x0, l2_cache_offsets = {0 <repeats 16 times>}, l2_cache_counts = {0 <repeats 16 times>}, cluster_sectors = 128, parent_cid = 4294967295} typedef struct BDRVVmdkState { BlockDriverState *hd; int64_t l1_table_offset; <==== ??? - what should this be , don't know what the actual layout on the vmdk spec says , is this a 64bit / 8 byte field ? int64_t l1_backup_table_offset; uint32_t *l1_table; uint32_t *l1_backup_table; unsigned int l1_size; uint32_t l1_entry_sectors; unsigned int l2_size; from vmdk.c /*!!! if (s->l1_backup_table_offset) { s->l1_backup_table = qemu_malloc(l1_size); if (bdrv_pread(bs->file, s->l1_backup_table_offset, s->l1_backup_table, l1_size) != l1_size) goto fail; Breaks here..
