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 version 3 for
streamOptimized:
# Set VMDK version 3 for foo.vmdk
$ printf '\x03' | dd conv=notrunc of=foo.vmdk bs=1 seek=$((0x4))

Can't convert to vmdk with the streamOptimized subformat

Bug description:
Hi all,
I'm trying to convert a qcow2 image file to the vmdk (on Ubuntu Server 12.04):
# qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O vmdk -o Stream spv-2912.qcow2 spv-2912-3.vmdk
-o subformat=streamOptimized
VMDK: can't write to allocated cluster for streamOptimized
qemu-img: error while writing sector 65: Input/output error
Same result with any input format. Others subformats work but the
StreamOptimized is by far the most important one. The only workaround
I found is to migrate to raw and then to use VBoxManage (VirtualBox).
