I don't see how dump would ever work on a qcow file. You can't read
that file directly as a filesystem, so I don't understand how dump
isn't
throwing all sorts of errors.
I assumed he was dumping the filesystem the qcows file is on, i.e. it's
just a file.
I wonder if it's in a BTRFS subvolume, which dump might treat as a
separate filesystem and not actually copy.
