[Feature request] qemu-img image conversion does not show percentage It will be nice if qemu-img will be able to show percentage of completition and average speed of conversion and compress ratio (if converting to compressed qcow or qcow2) qemu-img convert -p does show a percentage completion (but not avg speed or compression ratio) so this is at least partially done. Incomplete patch. Usecase: `qemu-img convert` with -p now shows the write speed. 1. I'm calculating the speed using the time taken to run the for(;;) at qemu-img.c:1477. I figured that every time this loop runs, n1 sectors are converted, and so I calculate the write_speed accordingly. Is this correct? 2. I have changed qemu-progress.c:qemu_progress_print() to take in a speed parameter, thinking that it would be the best option. Should I do it some other way instead (maybe write another function to print just speed)?

If you want to link to a submitted patch from launchpad, please post a mailing list archive link. For example: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/242109 Progress printing had been added here: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/6b837bc4a4d So I think it should be fine to close this ticket now.
