You need to add discard_granularity=NNN, where NNN is usually 512 for
raw and the cluster size (65536) for qcow2.
However, discard is supported only for XFS on raw, and on qcow2 it will
not reclaim space---the space will only be reused for future qcow2
allocation.
Better support for discard on raw (other filesystems + block devices),
and more efficient support also on other formats is on my todo list for
the future. However, an efficient implementation unfortunately requires
changes at all levels including the kernel.
I hope to present something about it at KVM Forum.
Paolo
