If you still need help with this, please provide the following information: 1. Output of "fdisk -lu /dev/vda" and "df -h /" from inside the guest. You may need to adjust the block device path if the root file system isn't on the first virtio-blk device (e.g. /dev/vdb or /dev/sda). 2. Output of "stat disk.img" from the host, where "disk.img" is the filename.
