-=head2 EXTRA SPACE
-
-Unlike formats such as tar and squashfs, a filesystem does not "just
-fit" the files that it contains, but might have extra space.
-Depending on how you are going to use the output, you might think this
-extra space is wasted and want to minimize it, or you might want to
-leave space so that more files can be added later. Virt-make-fs
-defaults to minimizing the extra space, but you can use the C<--size>
-flag to leave space in the filesystem if you want it.
-
-An alternative way to leave extra space but not make the output image
-any bigger is to use an alternative disk image format (instead of the
-default "raw" format). Using C<--format=qcow2> will use the native
-QEmu/KVM qcow2 image format (check your hypervisor supports this
-before using it). This allows you to choose a large C<--size> but the
-extra space won't actually be allocated in the image until you try to
-store something in it.
-
-Don't forget that you can also use local commands including
-L<resize2fs(8)> and L<virt-resize(1)> to resize existing filesystems,
-or rerun virt-make-resize to build another image from scratch.
