On archlinux qemu version 4.0.0 when I type: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -drive format=qcow,file=image.qcow2 ... I get this output in stderr qemu-system-x86_64 -drive format=qcow,file=image.qcow2 ...: Unsupported qcow version 3 image.qcow2 is a qcow2 image created by qemu-img. error states that problem is with lack support with qcow3 format but real problem is that foramt=qcow is wrong option.
