Public bug reported:
This is a regression in eoan for me. I use virt-manager to create vms,
and I noticed that creating one now takes more than a minute.
Looking at the process listing while the backing disk is being created, I see
this qemu-img command line:
15658 ? Ssl 0:00 /usr/sbin/libvirtd
23726 ? Sl 0:04 \_ /usr/bin/qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o
preallocation=falloc,compat=1.1,lazy_refcounts
/var/lib/libvirt/images/live-server.qcow2 41943040K
If I run qemu-img with that preallocation parameter set, even on bionic,
then it also takes a very long time.
On eoan, for comparison:
andreas@nsn7:~$ time qemu-img create -f qcow2 no-prealloc-image.qcow2 40G
Formatting 'no-prealloc-image.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=42949672960
cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16
real 0m0,016s
user 0m0,010s
sys 0m0,006s
andreas@nsn7:~$ qemu-img info no-prealloc-image.qcow2
image: no-prealloc-image.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 40G (42949672960 bytes)
disk size: 17K
cluster_size: 65536

andreas@nsn7:~$ du -hs no-prealloc-image.qcow2
17K no-prealloc-image.qcow2
andreas@nsn7:~$
and now with preallocation=falloc:
andreas@nsn7:~$ time qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=falloc
with-prealloc-image.qcow2 40G
Formatting 'with-prealloc-image.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=42949672960
