Nux commented on CLOUDSTACK-6369:
---------------------------------
Hi,
In case of ROOT volumes, can you confirm the cluster_size is inherited from the
backing qcow2? If yes, then this will be important when we create templates.

> To improve the qcow2 performance, it is important to tune parameters of
> "qemu-img create" command.
> preallocation=metadata option, which I am working on in CLOUDSTACK-6191
> improves randam IOPS well, but the qcow2 image created with
> preallocation=metadata option cannot be used for a differential image.
> This "cluster_size" option improves IOPS of a differential qcow2 image which
> is created with preallocation=off.
