If I try to start QEMU with a qcow image passed as an argument to -hda , the emulator won't load. If I pass a raw image instead, it works perfectly. Wasn't QCOW supposed to address exactly a problem regarding Windows and the lack of support for holes in the filesystem? Any clues? Is there a strace equivalent for Windows so I can at least try to track the problem down?
