August 10, 201411 yr Here's a good tip to cut down on utilized space after getting a VM installed & set up the way you like. Took a Win8 image from 21 GB to 10.2 GB. qemu-img convert -c -O qcow2 <source> <destination> qemu-img convert -c -O qcow2 /mnt/user/vm/Win8/Win8.qcow2 /mnt/user/VMBackup/Win8/Win8.qcow2 Rename your original file, copy the compacted file over, and start up your VM to ensure everything is as it should be.
