Okay. I'm curious what the strace -f output looks like (only the
preadv(2)/pwritev(2) syscalls are interesting at the moment).
Here's the full strace from one run:
http://oirase.annexia.org/tmp/strace.xz
The command is (with the output.qcow2 file created in a previous run):
$ strace -o /tmp/strace -f -s 1024 qemu-img convert -f raw fedora-27.img -O qcow2
/var/tmp/output.qcow2 -m 8 -W -n
The version of qemu is: qemu-2.10.0-7.fc28.x86_64
Rich.
