When using qcow2 disk with lazy refcounts: true, cloud-hypervisor would disable the lazy_refcounts option on startup, thus changing the image metadata.
Hi, @networkhermit thank you for opening an issue - the QCOW2 support is somewhat unmaintained as there is nobody on the project that has any particular expertise on it (most of it was just lifted from crosvm). I recommend using a raw file instead.

Thanks for the clarification.
#6349 is also related with qcow2. I think it's better to warn users about qcow2 in the website/documents and perhaps also in cli.
