>But the Oz situation does seem to be a problem because I can consistently get the images smaller by manually trimming them.

# mount /dev/mapper/loop0p3 /mnt/
# ls -ls
5129956 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 13958643712 Jul 22 15:03 Fedora-Workstation-Rawhide-20220721.n.0.aarch64.raw
# fstrim -v /mnt
/mnt: 8.5 GiB (9149927424 bytes) trimmed
# ls -ls
3293292 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 13958643712 Jul 22 15:04 Fedora-Workstation-Rawhide-20220721.n.0.aarch64.raw

~1.75 GiB  of garbage in the raw file being trimmed away. So whether the fstrim didn't run, or ran and failed, the existing logging doesn't let us know.

Ok this is suspicious
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/Fedora-Workstation/Rawhide/20220721.n.0/images/libvirt-raw-xz-aarch64.xml

<disk device="disk" type="file">
<target dev="vda" bus="virtio"/>
<source file="Fedora-Workstation-Rawhide-20220721.n.0.aarch64.raw-xz"/>
<driver name="qemu" type="raw-xz"/>
</disk>

This might be affecting the VM used to create the image, and lacking the option to set discard=unmap, the fstrim isn't passed down to the host/sparse file.
