confirmed bug replicated by neozeed. Seems to be something to do with vdi's that contain 3-4GB of data. An unpartitioned freshly created 4Gb vdi can be converted to raw OK, but an 8Gb dynamic vdi with 3.8GB of data fails. Presumably the raw file has sparse data in?? If it has 3+GB of real data then 0.15.0 errors but 0.11.1 does not?? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/826363 Title: qemu-img convert does not work with vdi files Status in QEMU: New Bug description: qemu-img.exe convert -O raw myfile.vdi zz.raw reports 'error while writing' both in 0.15.0 and Beta rc2 v0.11.1 works fine on same file. myfile.vdi is 3.9GB made by VirtualBox.
