[Qemu-devel] qemu-img create doesn't always replace the existing file

When using 'qemu-img create', if the file being created already exists, then qemu-img tries to read it first. This has some unexpected effects: $ rm test.qcow2 $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o compat=1.1,preallocation=off test.qcow2 1G Formatting 'test.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=1073741824 compat=1.1
