Wow, just detected a new feature ;-) 

# qemu-img info /dev/pve/vm-100-disk-1 
image: /dev/pve/vm-100-disk-1 
file format: raw 
virtual size: 1.0G (1073741824 bytes) 
disk size: 0 

# qemu-img create -f qcow2 /dev/pve/vm-100-disk-1 1G 
Formatting '/dev/pve/vm-100-disk-1', fmt=qcow2 size=1073741824 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 

# qemu-img info /dev/pve/vm-100-disk-1 
image: /dev/pve/vm-100-disk-1 
file format: qcow2 
virtual size: 1.0G (1073741824 bytes) 
disk size: 0

# stat -L /dev/pve/vm-100-disk-1 
File: `/dev/pve/vm-100-disk-1' 
Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 block special file 


So how can we use that?
