Also looking at your notes it looks like that previous patch which was committed only affected the creation. So perhaps the same sort of check can be incorporated into the conversion process as well, so that you don't have the silent error. -- You received this bug notification because you are a

This is a dynamically expanding VHD file created using the reproduction steps above on Windows 7. This one is 140GB and silently errors on conversion. This has not been formatted or even initialized. "kvm-img info 140g-dynamic.vhd" does not show the proper geometry. ** Attachment added: "140g-d
