Good catch! You're right, we definitely don't want that.

I see that we only have 3 calls to 'qemu-img create' in that test,
with everything else being done via preformatted images that are
stored in tests/virstoragetestdata/. Several more calls were present
in the past, but the vast majority were dropped with [1].

Peter, is there a reason why we're still calling 'qemu-img create'
for those specific images? Or could we replace those calls with
preformatted images as well, and no longer use qemu-img from the test
suite at all?
