Previouly, convert from ISO to VMDK with subformat=streamOptimized fails: $ ./qemu-img convert -O vmdk -o subformat=streamOptimized foo.iso bar.vmdk VMDK: can't write to allocated cluster for streamOptimized qemu-img: error while writing sector 64: Input/output error
Because current code in qemu-img.c uses the normal convert loop, rather than the compressed == true loop. In VMDK streamOptimized, writes must be in cluster granularity, because overlapped write to an allocated cluster is -EIO. This series adds is_compressed into BlockDriverInfo, and uses compressed convertion loop if the target block driver sets this field to true. It also implements .bdrv_get_info and .bdrv_write_compressed in VMDK driver to fit into this framework. Adds a test case to cover the code path in question: source image cluster size is smaller. v4: Rename .is_compressed -> .needs_compressed_writes. (Stefan) has -> have in commit log in patch 3. v3: Finally revisit and address Stefan's review comments on v2 from 2 months ago. Sorry for being so slow on this one. The general approach is the same, changes include: - Split originial "[PATCH v2 5/5] mirror: Check for bdrv_get_info result" and send to list separately, because it's irrelevant with this series. - Don't report cluster_size in bdrv_get_info if it's a flat extent, no need to change type of BlockDriverInfo.cluster_size to 64 bits. So drop "[PATCH v2 3/5] block: Change BlockDriverInfo.cluster_size to 64 bits". - Add qemu-iotests case as [PATCH 4/4].
