From a71835a0ccff168b19ffc9656fe27988821ec59a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Wolf Date: Sat, 8 Feb 2014 14:38:33 +0100 Subject: qcow2: Set zero flag for discarded clusters Instead of making the backing file contents visible again after a discard request, set the zero flag if possible (i.e. on version >= 3).
