Bingo! Adding '-S 0' makes convert work. But it is not perfect as the
end result is fully allocated image.
So with qcow2 like this:
image: mysql-example.qemu
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 10G (10737418240 bytes)
disk size: 50M
cluster_size: 65536
Format specific information:
compat: 1.1
lazy refcounts: false
refcount bits: 16
corrupt: false
and do this:
qemu-img convert mysql-example.qemu -S 0 -O vmdk mysql-example.vbox
I get 10G vmdk file:
10738794496 Jul 6 18:27 mysql-example.vbox
