The VM was stopped, leaving the image in a bad state. But now when trying to repair it, it was stuck: ``` # qemu-img check -r all /dev/mapper/e1d2ff33--c3fd--4c1a--bcd1--2047e4efc362-efbd8056--720a--47b6--bede--4325d576ffb9 qemu-img: Could not open '/dev/mapper/e1d2ff33--c3fd--4c1a--bcd1--2047e4efc362-efbd8056--720a--47b6--bede--4325d576ffb9': Bitmap '' doesn't satisfy the constraints ``` But if you want to remove the bitmap: ``` # qemu-img bitmap --remove /dev/mapper/e1d2ff33--c3fd--4c1a--bcd1--2047e4efc362-efbd8056--720a--47b6--bede--4325d576ffb9 '' qemu-img: Could not open '/dev/mapper/e1d2ff33--c3fd--4c1a--bcd1--2047e4efc362-efbd8056--720a--47b6--bede--4325d576ffb9': qcow2: Image is corrupt; cannot be opened read/write ``` It seems like qemu-img check needs some option to clear invalid bitmaps. So the image can be repaired including dropping the invalid bitmap.
