This is caused by qemu r6404:

    block-qcow2: keep highest allocated byte (Uri Lublin)
  =20
    We want to know the highest written offset for qcow2 images.
    This gives a pretty good (and easy to calculate) estimation to how
    much more allocation can be done for the block device.
  =20
    It can be usefull for allocating more diskspace for that image
    (if possible, e.g. lvm) before we run out-of-disk-space

Scanning the file at startup is slow.  We need to find a better way.
