From ee22a9d86921310672aa8775489217f3e2f5e1c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alberto Garcia Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2017 16:40:08 +0300 Subject: qcow2: Merge the writing of the COW regions with the guest data If the guest tries to write data that results on the allocation of a new cluster, instead of writing the guest data first and then the data from the COW regions, write everything together using one single I/O operation. This can improve the write performance by 25% or more, depending on several factors such as the media type, the cluster size and the I/O request size.
