Hello



using the kernel-lt from elrepo solves all problems!!


With XFS, or EXT4?
 
Maybe it is a problem with the current kernel from centos ??


It's an XFS issue, I think it'll be fixed for 7.3.
Y.
 


Thanks 



Wolfgang

Raw is always raw-sparse, so that may explain this somehow, yet still odd that 
Windows installation would cause so much fragmentation.
 I wonder if using the discard hook (and IDE or virtio-scsi) would help - or 
perhaps using a qcow2 makes more sense (create a snapshot right after disk 
creation for example).

And the XFS formatted with default parameters?
 Y.
