+VHDX BAT and Metadata Region Header Required Bit Not Set
+
+When converting a VMDK to VHDX the resulting VHDX's Region table has a small error. According to the VHDX specification the BAT and Metadata entries for the region header required bit should be set to 1.  In a VHDX created by qemu-img, this bit is not set.
+
+See Table 4: Known Region Properties of the VHDX specification.
+
+The structure format is as following from Structure 4: Region Table Entry:
+
+struct VHDX_REGION_TABLE_ENTRY {
+GUID Guid;
+UINT64 FileOffset;
+UINT32 Length;
+UINT32 Required:1;
+UINT32 Reserved:31;
+}
+
+The Required bit for VHDX specified BAT and Metadata Regions Required bit in the entry is not set as required in the current specification.
