Comment 37 for bug 1292234

Apparently this bug is also present in Debian. In my case the corrupted image was a windows one. When I run qemu-img check over it it will complain about lots of clusters, and if I pass it the repair flag, then it will end up crashing with the following message:

$ qemu-img check -r all windows.img

Has anyone else tried this over a copy of the corrupted image?
