Plan: Do some real work
Actual: Two big support calls and wasted a day

Fuck you deadline

qemu-img keeps on reporting error:
Could not open 'some-qcow2-img': No such file or directory

Why you waste me 2 hours for troubleshooting instead of telling me it's the backing file that could not be found?
