After generating new images including open-vm-tools, Michael Vermaes gracefully helped us by testing them with VMware Fusion. The VMware images don't boot, complaining about XFS corruption: > XFS (dm-0): Mounting V5 Filesystem > XFS (dm-0): totally zeroed log > XFS (dm-0): Corruption warning: Metadata has LSN (3:6277) ahead of current > LSN (1:0). Please unmount and run xfs_repair (>= v4.3) to resolve. The VirtualBox image boots without issues, but with XFS corruption affecting both the VMware and the libvirt images, I'm not so sure anymore that qemu-img is the reason.
