I don't really know what you mean by "full apparent size". If you are
talking about the output of "ls -l", then don't -- that number is
unrelated to the virtual size or the space consumed on disk. Always
use "qemu-img inf...

No. virt-sparsify will use the same input and output formats, unless
you use the --convert option.

Format specific information:
compat: 1.1

Now we sparsify (/bigtmp is on a larger partition then / to give
virt-sparsify enough room to work with so it does not complain).

Re: [libvirt-users] virt-sparsify changing the apparent-size of files
Hello,
Thanks for all the information, I think my last remaining question is
why the image created with virt-install shows the full apparent size
and the image from virt-sparsify does not? (The image testimage1.qcow2
created with default options).
As they are both qcow2 I would expect them both to have the same
behavior as far as apparent size goes. Or is there an option I am
missing in virt-sparsify that would keep the full apparent size? Or
perhaps one in virt-install to set apperent and real size th...
