The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to another
system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be
closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to "Incomplete" now.
If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch the state
back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report will be marked as
"Expired". Or mark it as "Fix Released" if the problem has been solved with a
newer version of QEMU already. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Title:
windows qemu-img create vpc/vhdx error
Status in QEMU:
Incomplete
Bug description:
On windows, using qemu-img (version 2.11.90) to create vpc/vhdx
virtual disk tends to fail. Here's the way to reproduce:
1. Install qemu-w64-setup-20180321.exe
2. Use `qemu-img create -f vhdx -o subformat=fixed disk.vhdx 512M` to create
a vhdx:
Formatting 'disk.vhdx', fmt=vhdx size=536870912 log_size=1048576
block_size=0 subformat=fixed
3. Execute `qemu-img info disk.vhdx` gives the result, (note the `disk size`
is incorrect):
image: disk.vhdx
file format: vhdx
virtual size: 512M (536870912 bytes)
disk size: 1.4M
cluster_size: 8388608
4. On Windows 10 (V1709), double click disk.vhdx gives an error:
Make sure the file is in an NTFS volume and isn't in a compressed folder
or volume.
Using Disk Management -> Action -> Attach VHD gives an error:
The requested operation could not be completed due to a virtual disk
system limitation. Virtual hard disk files must be uncompressed and uneccrypted
and must not be sparse.
Comparison with Windows 10 created VHDX:
1. Using Disk Management -> Action -> Create VHD:
File name: win.vhdx
Virtual hard disk size: 512MB
Virtual hard disk format: VHDX
Virtual hard disk type: Fixed size
2. Detach VHDX
3. Execute `qemu-img info win.vhdx` gives the result:
image: win.vhdx
file format: vhdx
virtual size: 512M (536870912 bytes)
disk size: 516M
cluster_size: 33554432
Comparison with qemu-img under Ubuntu:
1. Version: qemu-img version 2.5.0 (Debian 1:2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.16),
Copyright (c) 2004-2008 Fabrice Bellard
2. qemu-img create -f vhdx -o subformat=fixed lin.vhdx 512M
Formatting 'lin.vhdx', fmt=vhdx size=536870912 log_size=1048576
block_size=0 subformat=fixed
3. qemu-img info lin.vhdx
image: lin.vhdx
file format: vhdx
virtual size: 512M (536870912 bytes)
disk size: 520M
cluster_size: 8388608
4. Load lin.vhdx under Windows 10 is ok
The same thing happens on `vpc` format with or without
`oformat=fixed`, it seems that windows version of qemu-img has some
incorrect operation? My guess is that windows version of qemu-img
doesn't handle the description field of vpc/vhdx, which leads to an
incorrect `disk size` field.
