tipped the choice was that both qcow2 and lvm added overheads, but lvm
was on the whole system i.e. the host has additional processing on
every i/o whereas qcow2 overheads was only for guest i/o. More
critically my note was the thought as well that it would be easier to
move a qcow2 file to another machine/disk if necessary than to move a
partition.
