Re: [Qemu-devel] QCow v2

[Christian MICHON]

ok, I used "split -b 4k" on a 7716864 bytes qcow.
I used standard lzma compression and get 1884 7z-clusters
with a grand total of 3558617 bytes (indeed the gain is small).

The standard zlib qcow gave 3704180 bytes...

Does it make sense to have a cluster based compression ?
Indeed the actual compression is not so impressive then (zlib
or not zlib based).
