Thanks for posting the attachments.

I ran a script to find unallocated clusters in the delta.qcow2 host
file.  Most are actually qcow2 metadata (L1/L2 tables, refcount blocks).

This output shows that any image file size reduction you are hoping to
achieve can only come from zero clusters.

There are no holes in the files that would result in significant image
file size reduction if a new image were written out.

Just wanted to share this info in case anyone else is thinking about how
to optimize qcow2 files.  I still think rewriting images sequentially
can be useful - if internal snapshots were used and deleted then COW can
result in holes.

The following script draws the allocated clusters and holes in the image
file.  I took your qemu-img map output, filtered out any lines with
base.qcow2, and sorted using sort -k3 -g to sort on the "Mapped to"
field.  Then I ran ./qcow2-map-svg.py <filtered.txt >output.svg.
