# Convert vbox virtualdisk to qcow2 format using `qemu-img`
$ qemu-img convert -f qcow vbox-vdisk-exp.qcow -O qcow2 vbox-vdisk-exp-convert.qcow2

$ file vbox-vdisk-exp-convert.qcow2

# Print info about qemu-img converted image from vbox created qcow image
$ qemu-img info vbox-vdisk-exp-convert.qcow2                                                   mutts-6 | 0 < 10:53:00
