[Bug 565659] Re: qemu-img baseimage creation doesn't warn for image being smaller

[Muelli]

You're right. the descriptive text is wrong. In fact, I was typing the
bug report up very quickly.

I did not want to change the size of the base image. Basically I just
wanted to checkpoint my machine. So in fact, I couldn't bother less
about the size and I thought qemu-img made me. But now I've just
realised that you don't need to provide a size argument which I thought
was mandatory.

Although I think it is very a corner case to reduce the image size and
qemu should raise a warning if anybody attempts to decrease the image
size, this could probably be closed as NOTABUG or so.
