The image was originally converted from a VMware image with: +``` +qemu-img convert macOS-10.9.vmdk -O qcow2 -o preallocation=falloc macOS-10.9.qcow2 +``` +This resulted in `macOS-10.9.qcow2` being 151GB big: +``` +$ du -h macOS-10.9.qcow2 +151G macOS-10.9.qcow2 +``` +After reducing the filesystem size from within macOS to 25GB with DiskUtil, I shut down the VM and resized the image to 30GB with: +``` +qemu-img resize -f qcow2 --shrink macOS-10.9.qcow2 30G +``` +This succeeded. However, the file still consumes 151GB of space: +``` +$ du -h macOS-10.9.qcow2 +151G macOS-10.9.qcow2 +``` +Even though `qemu-img info` shows: +``` +$ qemu-img info macOS-10.9.qcow2 +image: macOS-10.9.qcow2 +file format: qcow2 +virtual size: 30 GiB (32212254720 bytes) +disk size: 30 GiB +cluster_size: 65536 +Format specific information: + compat: 1.1 + compression type: zlib + lazy refcounts: false + refcount bits: 16 + corrupt: false + extended l2: false +``` +The size inside the VM is also reported as being 30GB. + +The whole point of resizing that image was to free up disk space on the host.
