+Can't convert to vmdk with the streamOptimized subformat
+
+Hi all,
+I'm trying to convert a qcow2 image file to the vmdk (on Ubuntu Server 12.04):
+
+# qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O vmdk -o Stream spv-2912.qcow2 spv-2912-3.vmdk -o subformat=streamOptimized
+VMDK: can't write to allocated cluster for streamOptimized
+qemu-img: error while writing sector 65: Input/output error
+
+Same result with any input format. Others subformats work but the StreamOptimized it is by far the most important one. The only workaround I found is to migrate to raw and then to use VBoxManage (VirtualBox).
+
+Thanks for reporting this bug.  While the error looks different, I assume it is related to the same general lack of support as bug 905095 (and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=548723)
+
+Actually, using the same options as you do I do not get a failure.
+
+Can you show the result of 
+
+qemu-img info spv-2912.qcow2
+
+Hi Serge,
+the bug was confirmed by Stefan Hajnoczi[1] and still in QEMU 1.1:
+
+"Unfortunately there has not been a fix.  The cause of the bug is known
+and described in the email thread you linked.  If someone has time to
+write a fix and test it, it could be merged.  It won't be possible for
+QEMU 1.1 since the release is imminent."

+Thanks, Sebastien.

+
+With the latest codebase there is no error message but the converted streamOptimized image is incorrect.  I have a patch for this and will submit it for review soon.
+
+My patch has landed: https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/3efffc3292d94271a15b1606b4a56adf6c6f04ed
+
+I think we can resolve this bug as fixed.   Just one note for those how are trying to use streamOptimized images with VMware: you need to patch the VMDK version because VMware products accept only version 3 for streamOptimized:
+
+# Set VMDK version 3 for foo.vmdk
+$ printf '\x03' | dd conv=notrunc of=foo.vmdk bs=1 seek=$((0x4))
+
+
+
+This bug was fixed in the package qemu - 1:2.3+dfsg-5ubuntu6
+
+---------------
+qemu (1:2.3+dfsg-5ubuntu6) wily; urgency=medium
+
+  * Make qemu-system-common and qemu-utils depend on qemu-block-extra
+    to fix errors with missing block backends. (LP: #1495895)
+  * Cherry pick fixes for vmdk stream-optimized subformat (LP: #1006655)
+  * Apply fix for memory corruption during live-migration in tcg mode
+    (LP: #1493049)
+  * Apply tracing patch to remove use of custom vtable in newer glibc
+    (LP: #1491972)

+
+I'm confused- this is marked as affecting qemu-kvm in precise, but the
+preceding patch (c6ac36e) which introduced the bug is not there either.
+So I'm going to mark this as not affecting precise unless someone speaks
+up to say that we in fact need the whole dependent series.
+
+
+I have tried, many times, to use qemu-img to create StreamOptimized for VMWare ESXi 6.0 OVAs.
+
+It does NOT work.
+
+After days of research, I replaced qemu-img, by vboxmanage, then, it worked!
+
+Now, I'm using something this:
+
+--
+vboxmanage convertfromraw packer/output-vm.raw packer/output-vm-disk1.vmdk --format vmdk --variant Stream
+--
+
+I also had to edit the headers, with dd:
+
+---
+dd if=output-vm-disk1.vmdk of=output-vm-disk1.descriptor bs=1 skip=512 count=1024
+sed -i -e 's/ide/lsilogic/g' output-vm-disk1.descriptor
+dd conv=notrunc,nocreat if=output-vm-disk1.descriptor of=output-disk1.vmdk bs=1 seek=512 count=1024
+---
+
+This is the only way to build StreamOptimized VMDKs, for inclusion inside of OVA, that works on VMWare 6.0.
+
+The qemu-img can not be used.
+
+Here is my full solution to this problem (if the same problem):
+
+https://github.com/tmartinx/svauto/blob/dev/image-factory.sh#L510
+
+I'm just not entirely sure if we're talking about the same problem here...
+
+Cheers!
+Thiago
+
+It looks like my problem is different, since I'm not seeing this:
+
+qemu-img: error while writing sector 65: Input/output error
+
+But maybe, it is a light in the end of the tunnel...
+
+Patch 3efffc3292d9427 had been released with QEMU 2.5
