Hi, guys!
I use cloud-init as KVM template source and it works very well with Linux distributions buth with FreeBSD (from multiple sources) I encounter this problem:
Code:
 /usr/bin/qemu-img resize -f qcow2 /home2/images/1000/vm-1000-disk-0.qcow2 5630252228149248
qemu-img: Failed to grow the L1 table: File too large

df -h
Code:
root@s1:~# df -h

if I read qemu-img(1) correctly that would result in a 5(.00066) Petabyte image - is this your intention?

Haven't tried creating such a large qcow2 file myself - but would guess that it could be problematic to not run into issues (at least with the underlying filesystem) - see also the qemu-docs on qcow2: https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/docs/interop/qcow2.txt

I hope this helps!

NVM, that was a try to use .qcow images provided by FreeBSD directly, I've create my own templates and now everything is fine.
Thank you for you work!
