The qcow2 driver allows passing discards to the storage while keeping the reference of the block, and just marking it as zeroed. This can decrease the levels of fragmentation of the qcow2 metadata when discards are enabled.

From: Jean-Louis Dupond <jean-louis@dupond.be> Qemu 8.1.0 will add discard_no_unref option for qcow2 images. When this option is enabled (default=false), then it will no longer unreference clusters when guest does a discard, but it will just free the blocks (useful for incremental backups for example) and pass the discard to the lower layer. This was implemented to avoid fragmentation within the qcow2 image.
