Comment 9 for bug 1490611

I've posted a series to qemu-devel to hopefully address this issue. Cole, or anyone else that wants to test it out: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-02/msg05511.html

For the specific qemu-img convert case mentioned in this bug report, I believe using the new "force-size" option should address it, e.g.:

# qemu-img convert -f raw -o subformat=fixed,force-size -O vpc source-disk.img dest-disk.vhd
