The CHS calculation as done per the VHD spec imposes a maximum image size of ~127 GB. Real VHD images exist that are larger than that. Apparently there are two separate non-standard ways to achieve this: You could use more heads than the spec does - this is the option that qemu-img create chooses. However, other images exist where the geometry is set to the maximum (65535/16/255), but the actual image size is larger. Until now, such images are truncated at 127 GB when opening them with qemu. This patch changes the vpc driver to ignore geometry in this case and only trust the size field in the header.
