[Qemu-discuss] qemu-img do not verify encrytption

[yue-kvm]

i create qcow2 format image with -o encryption, and assign password.

but when i qemu-img info encryt.qcow2 ,  it display encryt.qcow2 info no master  what i input, even just hit enter.

the 'Password Authentication ' of qemu-img may be invalid.

thanks.

my steps:

--------

Create an encrypted disk

#qemu-img create -e -f qcow2 image.qcow2 10G

If you pass the option -e or -o encryption when you create an image, the resulting image will be encrypted, with an empty (blank) password – there is no option to set a password in a single step at the time of creation.

To set a password, again use qemu-img , but this time with the convert option

#qemu-img convert -e -O qcow2 image.qcow2 encrypted.qcow2

You will be asked to give a password twice. At the first prompt hit enter (as the password is blank), at the second prompt you will set the password for your resulting encrypted disk.
