[libvirt-users] Is there still no easier way to shrink a VM image?

I have numerous qcow2 images which need to be reduced in size and have their maximum size (virtual size) reduced. Physical disk space became so low that VMs "auto-paused" themselves, I moved enough images to solve the immediate problem but need to rectify the underlying issue. It seems that q
