From: Fam Zheng <f...@redhat.com> When creating image with backing file, the driver tries to calculate the relative path from created image file to backing file, but the path computation is incorrect. e.g.:
$ qemu-img create -f vmdk -b vmdk-data-disk.vmdk vmdk-data-snapshot1 Formatting 'vmdk-data-snapshot1', fmt=vmdk size=10737418240 backing_file='vmdk-data-disk.vmdk' compat6=off zeroed_grain=off $ qemu-img info vmdk-data-snapshot1 image: vmdk-data-snapshot1 file format: vmdk virtual size: 10G (10737418240 bytes) disk size: 12K -> backing file: disk.vmdk The common part in file names, "vmdk-data-", is incorrectly forgotten by relative_path(). As the VMDK specification has no restriction on parentNameHint to be relative path, we simply remove this by using the backing_file option.
