Even though, it makes little sense to me - the disk is a qcow2 disk, which shouldn't be very fragmented as you might think (qcow2 grows in 64K chunks). It may grow and grow and grow (until you sparsify it), but that's not going to cause fragmentation. What causes it to be fragmented? Perhaps the internal qcow2 mapping is quite fragmented?
