This creates a (copy-on-write clone). To break the chain (independent copy):
Or create a new one directly:
Previous iterations used gzip for compress qcow2 clusters. The pavmkvm801qcow2 new image is optionally compressed with zstd . This reduces the download size by approximately 15% compared to gzip at the same compression level, but more importantly, it decompresses 4x faster , allowing for rapid VM instantiation.
Using a QCOW2 image for your VM instances offers several technical advantages over traditional RAW formats:
