<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">i just changed xfs to ext4 and defragmantion is much better then before, i will also try kernel lts from elrepo and test it again.<br /></span></p>

<p>Raw is always raw-sparse, so that may explain this somehow, yet still odd that Windows installation would cause so much fragmentation.<br /> I wonder if using the discard hook (and IDE or virtio-scsi) would help - or perhaps using a qcow2 makes more sense (create a snapshot right after disk creation for example).</p>

<p>And the XFS formatted with default parameters?<br /> Y.</p>
