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.
