Occasionally this test will choose a random seed which results in an all-zeroes disk. The test tries to convert this to a compressed qcow2 file, and fails because no compressed clusters are detected in the resulting file. This happens because qcow2 stores zero clusters with a special sparse representation, they are never stored compressed, so a disk with only zeroes in it will never contain compressed clusters.
To fix this, detect an all-zeroes disk and skip.
