Hi all

*qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata  guest 8G*
The above command will alllocate all the 8GB to the diskimage.
means
*[root@t06 p]# ls -lh*
*total 1.4M*
*-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.1G Mar  7 12:43 guest*
*
*
is there is any way to allocate metadata to half size or predefined size ?
i.e 4GB will be allocated and rest 4GB can be allocated dynamically
