Is anyone currently working on VHDX (as opposed to VHD) support, as used
by the most recent version of Hyper-V? If not, would you be interested
in patches?

I'm not aware of anyone working on it yet. Patches are welcome, of course.

VHDX conversion seems to work already with qemu-img 1.1.1.
I have a VHDX image, changed the file ending to vhd and tried:
qemu-img convert -O raw WinXP.vhd test.raw
There were no errors or any other output, then to my astonishment:
qemu-kvm -hda test.raw &
... booted the old image on the spot.
Is it possible that the changes from vhd to vhdx are transparent to
qemu-img?
Regards,
Mario
