Image size grows at every backup/restore

Hi,

I discovered a bug, which is not critical, but annoying.

I'm using KVM on iSCSI/LVM Storages quite often. From time to time, I move VMs from one storage to another storage. I'm doing this by using the following commands:

Code:
vzdump --stdout 132 | qmrestore --storage storage2vol1 - 135

While this works without a problem, the image size of a new image grows slightly by 0.01 GB, see screenshots. The screenshots are taken from a Proxmox 1.9 cluster. It happens not every single time, but every few migrations.

Everything works smoothly, that's why I would describe it as annoying, but not critical.

Thanks,
Marco
