KVM and Openstack environments, they can quickly grow larger. Luckily qcow2 image size can be decreased to reasonable values usingqemu-imgtool. During image conversion the empty sectors are detected and suppressed from the destination image. Below we present how to shrink Openstack/KVM qcow2 ...
This article introduces the use of QEMU to emulate block devices, including SCSI, NVMe, Virtio and NVDIMM as a way to quickly study, debug and develop the Linux kernel.
I thought one of, if not the main features of the qcowX format was to create thin provision disks (without sparse files). Could you help me out with the correct syntax, please? Currently I'm using: qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 image.vmdk image.qcow2 ...
