Public bug reported:

QCOW2's created on Trusty (Qemu 1.7.0+dfsg-3ubuntu2) fail when
attempting any operation (read/mount/resize, etc) on Precise (1.0
+noroms-0ubuntu13).

This bug is affecting the cloud image build process for newer
architectures.

On 14.04
$ qemu-img create -o compat=0.10 -f qcow2 test.img 1G
Formatting 'test.img', fmt=qcow2 size=1073741824 compat='0.10' encryption=off cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off 


On 12.04
$ qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 /tmp/test.img
'hda' uses a qcow2 feature which is not supported by this qemu version: QCOW version 3
qemu-nbd: Failed to bdrv_open '/tmp/test.img': Operation not supported
