2019-09-03block: posix: Always allocate the first blockNir Soffer
When creating an image with preallocation "off" or "falloc", the first block of the image is typically not allocated. When using Gluster storage backed by XFS filesystem, reading this block using direct I/O succeeds regardless of request length, fooling alignment detection. In this case we fallback to a safe value (4096) instead of the optimal value (512), which may lead to unneeded data copying when aligning requests. Allocating the first block avoids the fallback. Since we allocate the first block even with preallocation=off, we no longer create images with zero disk size: $ ./qemu-img create -f raw test.raw 1g Formatting 'test.raw', fmt=raw size=1073741824 $ ls -lhs test.raw 4.0K -rw-r--r--. 1 nsoffer nsoffer 1.0G Aug 16 23:48 test.raw And converting the image requires additional cluster: $ ./qemu-img measure -f raw -O qcow2 test.raw required size: 458752 fully allocated size: 1074135040 When using format like vmdk with multiple files per image, we allocate one block per file: $ ./qemu-img create -f vmdk -o subformat=twoGbMaxExtentFlat test.vmdk 4g Formatting 'test.vmdk', fmt=vmdk size=4294967296 compat6=off hwversion=undefined subformat=twoGbMaxExtentFlat $ ls -lhs test*.vmdk 4.0K -rw-r--r--. 1 nsoffer nsoffer 2.0G Aug 27 03:23 test-f001.vmdk 4.0K -rw-r--r--. 1 nsoffer nsoffer 2.0G Aug 27 03:23 test-f002.vmdk 4.0K -rw-r--r--. 1 nsoffer nsoffer 353 Aug 27 03:23 test.vmdk I did quick performance test for copying disks with qemu-img convert to new raw target image to Gluster storage with sector size of 512 bytes: for i in $(seq 10); do rm -f dst.raw sleep 10 time ./qemu-img convert -f raw -O raw -t none -T none src.raw dst.raw done Here is a table comparing the total time spent: Type Before(s) After(s) Diff(%) --------------------------------------- real 530.028 469.123 -11.4 user 17.204 10.768 -37.4 sys 17.881 7.011 -60.7 We can see very clear improvement in CPU usage.

2016-04-12iotests: Make 150 use qemu-img map instead of duMax Reitz
The actual on-disk size of a file does not only depend on factors qemu can control. Thus, we should not depend on this to determine whether a file has indeed been fully allocated. Instead, use qemu-img map and hope that if an area is referenced, it is indeed allocated, too. Also, limit the supported image formats to raw and qcow2 because the actual qemu-img map output may depend on the image format.

2016-03-30iotests: Test qemu-img convert -S 0 behaviorMax Reitz
Passing -S 0 to qemu-img convert should result in all source data being copied to the output, even if that source data is known to be 0. The output image should therefore have exactly the same size on disk as an image which we explicitly filled with data.
