So thought I, but...
IIRC from what I've read on-list, qcow2 isn't the best alternative for hosting VMs on
top of btrfs.
Yeah, I've seen discussions about it here too, but in my case VMs write
very little (mostly logs and distro updates), so I decided it can live
as it is for a while. But I'm looking for better solutions as long as
they are not too complicated.

Just use raw -- btrfs already has every feature that qcow2 has, and does it
better. This doesn't mean btrfs is the best choice for hosting VM files,
just that raw-over-btrfs is strictly better than qcow2-over-btrfs.
Thanks for advice, I wasn't sure I won't lose features, and was too lazy
to investigate/ask. Now it looks simple.
