ive been looking for a way to create images that are not "RAW", downloading a created image takes up ~128Gb and just running gzip on it compresses it to ~700MB.
I am aware that you can use:
qemu-img convert -O qcow2 centos7.qcow2 centos7_small.qcow2
To compress a image and upload it again, but why is there no way to make
images sparse at creation time?
