VHD images generated by qemu-img are not accepted by Hyper-V
Issue
We create VHD images with:
qemu-img create -f raw test.raw 1G
qemu-img convert -O vpc test.raw test.vhd
The resulting image cannot be mounted under Hyper-V:
Mount-VHD test.vhd
gives the error:
The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. (0x80070570).
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
