I don't know of any qcow2-based workaround. Is anyone actively working on fixing the qcow2 code? In particular, the fact that after removing snapshots, un-used blocks are not reclaimed and disk size is never reduced?
One possible workaround (the one I would use) would be to use lvm-based snapshotting instead. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1025244 Title: qcow2 image increasing disk size above the virtual limit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1025244/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
