[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1449687] Re: block migration of qcow2 VMs copies all empty space

[Andrew Bogott]

You're right, clearly that was a c/p fail.  I can't for the life of me
find the bug that I was trying to refer to :(

** Description changed:

  I'm running openstack 2012.1 'icehouse' which, ultimately, calls down
  into qemu-system-x86 2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.10.
  
  I primed the process by copying all necessary base images onto the
  destination host.  Nonetheless, post-migration instances are much larger
  than the original image; the copy duplicated all the empty space that
  ought to have remained copy-on-write.
- 
- It looks like there was some attempt to address this issue in the past
- (e.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1058173 ) but perhaps
- I'm conflating two different issues.
