Hi Ian,
Thanks for your valuable advice on debugging.
The SysProcAttr field is nil, and I can't see why it fails from the
strace, seems it just found the executable and then fails without
doing fork:
stat("/usr/bin/qemu-img", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=815784, ...}) = 0
write(1, "SysProcAttr: <nil>", 18SysProcAttr: <nil>) = 18
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/null", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 7
pipe2([8, 9], O_CLOEXEC) = 0
pipe2([10, 11], O_CLOEXEC) = 0
close(7) = 0
close(9) = 0
close(11) = 0
close(8) = 0
close(10) = 0
write(1, "ret {\"status\":\"error\",\"error\":\"f"..., 79ret
{"status":"error","error":"fork/exec /usr/bin/qemu-img: invalid
argument"}
