Anyone know why we do a convert from qcow2 to qcow2 when we crete a volume or template? It seems slower than file copy, and it strips valuable compression which could speed up deployments significantly. Our qcow2 templates are compressed to about 1/3 size of uncompressed, and since the compression is read-only it doesn't really affect future write performance, and gives a slight performance gain to reads since less is read.
createvolume.sh qemu_img convert -f qcow2 -O qcow2 managesnapshot.sh qemu_img convert -f qcow2 -O qcow2 createtmplt.sh qemu_img convert -f qcow2 -O qcow2 I'd suggest if we already know it's qcow2, and we want to create a qcow2 to copy the file. Objections?
