For many months now we have been trying to create a file-backed qcow image with the qcow-create code. Each time we try to back a file with a qcow, it screams: *** buffer overflow detected ***: qcow-create terminated Below is the output from two different attempts and information about qcow-create. Any ideas/thoughts/help you can offer?
