disk: QEMU QCOW Image (v3), has backing file (path /data/nova/instances/_base/3f27393376152ac352b2d85703011e38517e), 429496729600 bytes
Oh, you're using delta/snapshot based qcow images. That, by it's very nature, generates fragmented image files as they are a delta over the backing file. .... actual 48421430, ideal 20716, fragmentation factor 99.96%
How can I solve this problem, what do you suggest me to do?
Use a extent size hint (say 1-8MB) for your qcow2 image files so that they don't fragment badly as they are written to. Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
