            Bug ID: 263029
           Summary: [mkimg] qcow2 images are not compressed by default
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: dch@freebsd.org

Using qemu-img with compression (from emulators/qemu) yields
significantly smaller images than the original mkimg one, which
appears not to be compressed at all, just sparse.

> qemu-img convert -S 1k -p -f raw -O qcow2 -c oci.raw oci.qcow
