[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1835477] [NEW] Converting qcow2 to vmdk on MacOSX results in a non-bootable image

[Moshe Immerman]

Public bug reported:

When using qemu-img convert -O vmdk  with version 3.1.0 or 4.0.0 on OSX
(10.14.3) with a qcow2 image  (https://cloud-
images.ubuntu.com/bionic/20190703/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img), the
resulting image is not bootable.

Running the same command on Ubuntu 18.04 results in a bootable image as
expected
