+The driver parameter ```vhdx``` to the blockdev argument seems to struggle with it.
+
+I wanted to check if the vhdx blockdev driver has the same VHDX-related-bugs as qemu-nbd

+- #806 Fixed VHDX inflates beyond its fixed size when data is copied onto it and also corrupts

+Even the the blockdev reference entries seem to have VHDX all over the place
