Migration with ``drive-mirror`` + NBD will let quorum qcow2 image become larger

[Tao Xu]

Hi,

I am using ``drive-mirror`` + NBD for live storage migration. But I find 
that if I use a qcow2 image(virtual size: 10 GiB, disk size: 1.8 GiB) as 
a child of quorum, then the destination image become larger(virtual 
size: 10 GiB, disk size: 10 GiB). However if I use a qcow2 image 
directly, then the destination image(virtual size: 10 GiB, disk size: 
1.8 GiB) will be equal to the source.

So I am wondering if my usage is wrong or it is expected with 
quorum+drive-mirror?

P.S. Detail:

2) [On *source* Host]:

Boot the QEMU using:

disk_path=fedora32.qcow2

exec $cmdline

[On *source* QEMU]:

3)[On *destination* Host]:
qemu-img info fedora32.qcow2
image: fedora32.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 10 GiB (10737418240 bytes)
disk size: 10 GiB
cluster_size: 65536
Format specific information:
    compat: 1.1
    lazy refcounts: false
    refcount bits: 16
    corrupt: false
4)But if [On *source* Host] boot qemu using:

disk_path=fedora32.qcow2
net_param="-netdev 
tap,id=hn0,vhost=off,br=br0,helper=/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper 
-device rtl8139,id=e0,netdev=hn0"
cmdline="qemu-system-x86_64 \
-enable-kvm \
-m 2G -smp 4 -qmp stdio -bios OVMF.fd \
-monitor telnet:127.0.0.1:4444,nowait,server -vnc :7 -rtc base=utc \
-cpu host -device cirrus-vga,id=video0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x2 \
-device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 \
-device usb-tablet,id=input0,bus=usb.0,port=1 $net_param \
-drive if=virtio,id=parent0,file.filename=$disk_path,driver=qcow2"
exec $cmdline

Then [On *destination* Host]:

qemu-img info fedora32.qcow2
image: fedora32.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 10 GiB (10737418240 bytes)
disk size: 1.8 GiB
