Also, `force_size` suboption of `vpc` doesn't work on win version of
qemu-img.

windows qemu-img create vpc/vhdx error
Status in QEMU:
New
Bug description:
On windows, using qemu-img (version 2.11.90) to create vpc/vhdx
virtual disk tends to fail. Here's the way to reproduce:
1. Install qemu-w64-setup-20180321.exe
2. Use `qemu-img create -f vhdx -o subformat=fixed disk.vhdx 512M` to create a vhdx:
Formatting 'disk.vhdx', fmt=vhdx size=536870912 log_size=1048576 block_size=0 subformat=fixed
3. Execute `qemu-img info disk.vhdx` gives the result, (note the `disk size` is incorrect):
image: disk.vhdx
file format: vhdx
virtual size: 512M (536870912 bytes)
disk size: 1.4M
cluster_size: 8388608
4. On Windows 10 (V1709), double click disk.vhdx gives an error:
Make sure the file is in an NTFS volume and isn't in a compressed folder or volume.
Using Disk Management -> Action -> Attach VHD gives an error:
The requested operation could not be completed due to a virtual disk system limitation. Virtual hard disk files must be uncompressed and uneccrypted and must not be sparse.
Comparison with Windows 10 created VHDX:
1. Using Disk Management -> Action -> Create VHD:
File name: win.vhdx
Virtual hard disk size: 512MB
Virtual hard disk format: VHDX
Virtual hard disk type: Fixed size
2. Detach VHDX
3. Execute `qemu-img info win.vhdx` gives the result:

file format: vhdx
virtual size: 512M (536870912 bytes)
disk size: 516M

2. qemu-img create -f vhdx -o subformat=fixed lin.vhdx 512M

virtual size: 512M (536870912 bytes)
disk size: 520M

4. Load lin.vhdx under Windows 10 is ok
The same thing happens on `vpc` format with or without
`oformat=fixed`, it seems that windows version of qemu-img has some
incorrect operation? My guess is that windows version of qemu-img
doesn't handle the description field of vpc/vhdx, which leads to an
incorrect `disk size` field.

I remembered asking a QEMU developer about this. He suggested me to send
an email to the developer mailing list, or send messages to IRC channel.
I don't have time to do this right now, but if someone else finds this
bug report and wants to get the help, please email them instead.

I also discovered just a few days ago the problem that sparse VHD/VHDX
image files are not being accepted by Windows.
It appears that qemu-img on Windows always tries to create images as
sparse files. Only in some cases (e.g. when operating on a NTFS file
system) will the file actually be a sparse file.
Being a sparse file seems to be no issue when using these file with QEMU
itself. Most file formats that qemu-img is able to create will be
unknown to Windows own tools, but the one exception are VHD/VHDX files.
As long as a file carries the sparse attribute it will be "un-
acceptable" to the Windows tools (e.g. diskpart/diskmgmt). As a crude
work-around I've noticed that a copy of such a file will have "lost" the
sparse attribute, and therefore can be mounted. Likewise any copy of a
file created on a different system will not be a sparse file (and hence
the issue does not arise).
I'm attaching a log file (with a few comments) of some steps that
demonstrate the problem, and how I worked around it. The test was done
with qemu-img v4.1.0, but I'm fairly certain that this issue has been
present since "forever" (and a quick re-test with v4.2.0 confirmed that
it has not "gone away").
So, a simple work-around exists, but I see myself unable to suggest a
patch. I guess the patch should be specific to prevent the creation of
sparse VHD/VHDX files on Windows. But from the superficial reading I did
I could not work out whether the image format information would be
available in 'raw_co_create()' (of: 'block/file-win32.c').

I noticed the cloudbase version does NOT have this issue. https://cloudbase.it/qemu-img-windows/
The weilnetz version DOES have this issue. https://qemu.weilnetz.de/w64/

git fetch --all
git diff v2.3.0 cloudbase/v2.3.0-cloudbase
And I see that the cloudbase version comments out set_sparse(fd).
I think the solution is to remove set_sparse.
You can find it in block/file-win32.c

Title:
windows qemu-img create vpc/vhdx error
Status in QEMU:
New
Bug description:
On windows, using qemu-img (version 2.11.90) to create vpc/vhdx
virtual disk tends to fail. Here's the way to reproduce:
1. Install qemu-w64-setup-20180321.exe
2. Use `qemu-img create -f vhdx -o subformat=fixed disk.vhdx 512M` to create a vhdx:
Formatting 'disk.vhdx', fmt=vhdx size=536870912 log_size=1048576 block_size=0 subformat=fixed
3. Execute `qemu-img info disk.vhdx` gives the result, (note the `disk size` is incorrect):
image: disk.vhdx
file format: vhdx
virtual size: 512M (536870912 bytes)
disk size: 1.4M
cluster_size: 8388608
4. On Windows 10 (V1709), double click disk.vhdx gives an error:
Make sure the file is in an NTFS volume and isn't in a compressed folder or volume.
Using Disk Management -> Action -> Attach VHD gives an error:
The requested operation could not be completed due to a virtual disk system limitation. Virtual hard disk files must be uncompressed and uneccrypted and must not be sparse.
Comparison with Windows 10 created VHDX:
1. Using Disk Management -> Action -> Create VHD:
File name: win.vhdx
Virtual hard disk size: 512MB
Virtual hard disk format: VHDX
Virtual hard disk type: Fixed size
2. Detach VHDX
3. Execute `qemu-img info win.vhdx` gives the result:
image: win.vhdx
file format: vhdx
virtual size: 512M (536870912 bytes)
disk size: 516M
cluster_size: 33554432
Comparison with qemu-img under Ubuntu:
1. Version: qemu-img version 2.5.0 (Debian 1:2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.16),
Copyright (c) 2004-2008 Fabrice Bellard
2. qemu-img create -f vhdx -o subformat=fixed lin.vhdx 512M
Formatting 'lin.vhdx', fmt=vhdx size=536870912 log_size=1048576 block_size=0 subformat=fixed
3. qemu-img info lin.vhdx
image: lin.vhdx
file format: vhdx
virtual size: 512M (536870912 bytes)
disk size: 520M
cluster_size: 8388608
4. Load lin.vhdx under Windows 10 is ok
The same thing happens on `vpc` format with or without
`oformat=fixed`, it seems that windows version of qemu-img has some
incorrect operation? My guess is that windows version of qemu-img
doesn't handle the description field of vpc/vhdx, which leads to an
incorrect `disk size` field.

The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to another system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to "Incomplete" now.
If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch the state back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report will be marked as "Expired". Or mark it as "Fix Released" if the problem has been solved with a newer version of QEMU already. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

This is an automated cleanup. This bug report has been moved to QEMU's
new bug tracker on gitlab.com and thus gets marked as 'expired' now.
