+
+The behavior you are showing here is explained as follows:
+
+Backing file paths can be relative or absolute and are stored inside
+the image file.  In this case you are providing a relative backing
+file path.
+
+Relative backing file paths are interpreted against the image filename.
+In other words:
+
+  join_path(dirname('a/ovl.img'), 'a/blob.img') -> 'a/a/blob.img'
+

+>  
+> qemu-img commit a/ovl.img
+> # Now commit fails  
+> # --> ERROR "No such file or directory
+
+The problem was:
+> qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b a/blob.img a/ovl.img
+
+If you want to use a relative backing file path, remember that it is
+relative to the image file:
+
+cd a && qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b blob.img ovl.img
+
+Then 'qemu-img commit a/ovl.img' will work as expected.
