Hm, I must have missed this patch on the KVM mailing list...
It wasn't on the list, sorry.
You should also error out before creating a new L2 table as its refcount
would have to be updated, too. On the other hand, the patch is a bit too
restrictive, because it applies the check to qcow1 which doesn't even
have a refcount table.
Oh, right, I broken QCOW1.
I'm not sure if everyone is aware of it, so another hint: Now that you
can't grow qcow2 any more, you might find it useful to use qemu-img
create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata, so that all clusters are
already present and you don't get random failures.
Yup, I'm aware that you can't grow images anymore. The patch was meant as
a stop-gap measure while I'm hacking on refcount table support.
Yeah, I was pretty sure you were aware of _that_, but maybe not everyone
knows that metadata preallocation exists.
