[Qemu-devel] [Bug 907063] [NEW] Error reading VMDK4 with footer instead of header

2011-12-20 Thread bbgordonn
Public bug reported: VMDK4 files can have a footer in the last block, which is the same datastructure as the header but must be used instead if present. In this case, the gd_offset in the usual header at the beginning of the file is the special flag -1 (VMDK 1.1 spec, page 17, "GD_AT_END "). qe
