qemu-img convert -c compression can't decompress
Used -c compression option of qemu-img convert to compress qcow2,
then libvirt mount for compressed image don't work as well as decompression also
not working, tried glib-deflate to decompress
Used openssl zlib -d < compressedfile but that also not working
When tried zlib-flate -uncompress < cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.img,
getting below error
data: incorrect header check
Which version of QEMU (or rather qemu-img) are you using?
qemu-img version 2.1.2, Copyright (c) 2004-2008 Fabrice Bellard
When reporting bugs, please always use the latest version of QEMU, old versions like 2.1 are not supported anymore. I just also noticed that Stefan Hajnoczi replied to the bug mail on the qemu-devel mailing list (see https://<email address hidden>/msg422186.html) - seems like the bridge did not mirror this to the bug tracker:
"QEMU image compression uses the compression feature available in some
disk image formats (like qcow2). This is not the same as compressing a
file with gzip, bzip2, or similar tools.
Therefore this error is expected and not a bug."
Yes used qcow2 format only when compressing, I don't think due to older version problem
When converting qcow2 with -c option, then after not able to boot VM with compressed qcow2 image
