[Bug 1006655] Re: Can't convert to vmdk with the streamOptimized subformat
I have tried, many times, to use qemu-img to create StreamOptimized for VMWare ESXi 6.0 OVAs. It does NOT work. After days of research, I replaced qemu-img, by vboxmanage, then, it worked! Now, I'm using something this: -- vboxmanage convertfromraw packer/output-vm.raw packer/output-vm-disk1.vmdk --format vmdk --variant Stream -- I also had to edit the headers, with dd: --- dd if=output-vm-disk1.vmdk of=output-vm-disk1.descriptor bs=1 skip=512 count=1024 sed -i -e 's/ide/lsilogic/g' output-vm-disk1.descriptor dd conv=notrunc,nocreat if=output-vm-disk1.descriptor of=output-disk1.vmdk bs=1 seek=512 count=1024 --- This is the only way to build StreamOptimized VMDKs, for inclusion inside of OVA, that works on VMWare 6.0. The qemu-img can not be used. Here is my full solution to this problem (if the same problem): https://github.com/tmartinx/svauto/blob/dev/image-factory.sh#L510 I'm just not entirely sure if we're talking about the same problem here...

[Bug 1006655] Re: Can't convert to vmdk with the streamOptimized subformat
I'm confused- this is marked as affecting qemu-kvm in precise, but the preceding patch (c6ac36e) which introduced the bug is not there either. So I'm going to mark this as not affecting precise unless someone speaks up to say that we in fact need the whole dependent series. ** Changed in: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1006655 Title: Can't convert to vmdk with the streamOptimized subformat To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1006655/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

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)) ** Changed in: qemu Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1006655 Title: Can't convert to vmdk with the streamOptimized subformat To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1006655/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

With the latest codebase there is no error message but the converted streamOptimized image is incorrect.

Hi Serge, the bug was confirmed by Stefan Hajnoczi[1] and still in QEMU 1.1: "Unfortunately there has not been a fix. The cause of the bug is known and described in the email thread you linked. If someone has time to write a fix and test it, it could be merged. It won't be possible for QEMU 1.1 since the release is imminent."
