Hello,
I’m using LXD to create VMs based on a qcow2 image, but noticed that each time I create a new VM, qemu-image runs to convert the qcow2 image to raw. This takes time and the image is also quite large.
Is there a way to pre-convert the qcow2 image so that I don’t have to convert it every time I create a new VM based on that image? I’m looking for a way to speed up the VM creation process and reduce the storage space required for the raw image. Thank you in advance for your help.
lxc image import metadata.tar packer-qemu-image --alias my-vm-image
