https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1265196 The following command fails on an NFS mountpoint: $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=falloc disk.img 262144 Formatting 'disk.img', fmt=qcow2 size=262144 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 preallocation='falloc' lazy_refcounts=off qemu-img: disk.img: Could not preallocate data for the new file: Bad file descriptor The reason turns out to be because NFS doesn't support the posix_fallocate call. glibc emulates it instead. However glibc's emulation involves using the pread(2) syscall. The pread syscall fails with EBADF if the file descriptor is opened without the read open-flag (ie. open (..., O_WRONLY)). I contacted glibc upstream about this, and their response is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1265196#c9 There are two possible fixes: Use Linux fallocate directly, or (this fix) work around the problem in qemu by opening the file with O_RDWR instead of O_WRONLY.
