Thanks for confirming. I just wanted to try out the discard='unmap'
option and, if it was available, I still had to investigate if there was
any command like fstrim for XP.
Back to virt-sparsify! :)
When I get around to it, I'm going to change virt-sparsify to do
in-place sparsification, which *should* now be possible (at least with
some underlying disk image combinations). This would work with any
Windows guest including XP since it'll be using a recent Linux kernel
+ recent virtio-scsi + ntfs-3g.
