Open Stack

Padriag, Thanks for the info

But i see this issue while converting as you suggested.

root at oscontroller-desktop:/home/os-controller# qemu-img convert -f qcow2 
-O qcow2 disk newdisk
/qemu-img: Could not open 'disk': No such file or directory//
//qemu-img: Could not open 'disk'/

root at oscontroller-desktop:/home/os-controller# ls -lrt disk
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10546577408 Feb  5 21:48 disk
root at oscontroller-desktop:/home/os-controller#

-Shyam.
