(see workaround given below) - -To be very general, the implementation of this may need to factor in what underlying operations (fallocate, fallocate_punchhole, truncate, sparse) are supported by what filesystems (NTFS, ExFAT, ext4), choice of filesystem-driver (sometimes the driver may not have yet implemented an underlying operation), and operating systems (Linux/Win), and possible workarounds to achieve the same effect in the absence of underlying-operation. -Steps to reproduce: -1. open command shell -2. run the qemu-img command. In my case, qcow2 file is attempted to be created on a drive with ExFAT filesystem. -Additional information: - |
