- Create a sparsified compressed image without snapshots from an unsparsified one:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`virt-sparsify --compress {{path/to/image.qcow2}} {{path/to/new_image.qcow2}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Sparsify an image in-place:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`virt-sparsify --in-place {{path/to/image.img}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Convert from one image format to another:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`virt-sparsify {{path/to/image}} --convert {{qcow2|raw|vdi|...}} {{path/to/new_image}}`
