My patch has landed: https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/3efffc3292d94271a15b1606b4a56adf6c6f04ed
I think we can resolve this bug as fixed. Just one note for those how are trying to use streamOptimized images with VMware: you need to patch the VMDK version because VMware products accept only version 3 for streamOptimized: # Set VMDK version 3 for foo.vmdk $ printf '\x03' | dd conv=notrunc of=foo.vmdk bs=1 seek=$((0x4)) ** Changed in: qemu Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1006655 Title: Can't convert to vmdk with the streamOptimized subformat To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1006655/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
