Hi all. I'm having issues while creating snapshots. I posted on Stack Exchange [1], but figured I might get more success here.

Hi all. I have a few questions regarding the qcow2 format. 1/ Allocated size vs. file size When creating a VM, I indicated a size of 10 G. $ls -lsh 7,7G -rw------- 1 libvirt-qemu libvirt-qemu 11G oct. 14 10:04 prod.qcow2 The allocated size is lesser than max size.
