Thanks for the reply . i am not using a backing file. My concern is growing file system. The performance of 64K is better than 1M , 2M or 32K Is the degrade in performance is only due to allocation of large cluster during expansion of qcow2 image ? But the trend is same in case of Sequential writ

Hi all I have been working o the qcow2 image format , I theory regarding cluster size it is written that as the size of cluster increase performance should increase. But something surprising happen The performance is degrading as the size of cluster increased from 64K to 1M ( during expansio
