# Right before using it I have checked the image with zerofree

# Now I replaced the 8 different images (those are my 8 attachement

$ for f in /var/lib/libvirt/images/jdisk*.qcow2; do cp -v jammy-server-
cloudimg-amd64-disk-kvm.img $f; done
# Then I started my guest, ran growpart and resize2fs on each of it and

# Now I'm having the same look at each of them in two ways
# A - from the hosts POV for image size
Again the ide/sata attachments without detect_zeroes=on are the ones
growing to 1.3G in this case. The rest all stayed at 573M (just 3M more
than when downloaded).
# B - from the guests POV for FS behavior
They ALL reported the very same:
3/5976603/6525179
Which means from the guest/FS POV all those disks are primarily free and do not
have much crap.
I do not mind so much about the three blocks being off, I understood you @Brent
that you had a lot more of such blocks right?
P.S. if anyone does the same as repro, there is some bonus non-fun in mounting
via "root=LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs" as all of them will have the very same label
:-)
