Hi,
What exactly is the problem now? As Eric explained in comment 3, "qemu-
img info -U" is what needs to be used here. Daniel raised the problem
of --force-share/-U being undocumented, but that’s no longer the case as
of commit a7e326df1c116e99e, which was first included in the 2.12.0
release.

Title:
Failed to get shared "write" lock with 'qemu-img info'
Status in QEMU:
New
Bug description:
When running 'qemu-img info test.qcow2' while test.qcow2 is currently
used by a Qemu process, I get the error
qemu-img: Could not open 'test.qcow2': Failed to get shared "write"
lock.
Why does displaying information about a disk image need a write lock
for the file?
Steps to reproduce:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 test.qcow2 10M
qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic -drive file=test.qcow2
qemu-img info test.qcow2
The above was tested with Qemu version 2.10.0.
