I'd actually prefer using an LVM LV, but I can’t always do what I want. (In my case, the other admins argue with “qcow2 can do (multiple) snap‐ shots of a VM”. Not that I ever made a snapshot, at all.) > nothing but overhead (in both of image size and processing time), and > becomes more difficult for proper alignment (in case of disks with larger > sector sizes). Is this really true even for fully preallocated qcow2 images without compression enabled? If so, I think I’ve got enough reason to at least use a raw image on the NAS-via-NFS setup.
