The ubuntu 18.04 template was made without logical partitions. They are both in the default set of libguestfs templates.
# virt-filesystems --all --long -h -a ubuntu-18.04.img
Name Type VFS Label MBR Size Parent
/dev/sda1 filesystem ext4 - - 10G -
/dev/sda1 partition - - 83 10G /dev/sda
/dev/sda device - - - 10G -
P.S Sorry I couldn’t figure out how to reply to the existing thread.

The problem is that this image is incompatible with virt-resize:
$ virt-builder ubuntu-20.04
$ virt-filesystems -a ubuntu-20.04.img --all -l -h
Name Type VFS Label MBR Size Parent
/dev/sda1 filesystem vfat - - 511M -
/dev/sda5 filesystem ext4 - - 5.3G -
/dev/sda1 partition - - 0b 512M /dev/sda
/dev/sda2 partition - - 05 1.0K /dev/sda
/dev/sda5 partition - - 83 5.5G /dev/sda
/dev/sda device - - - 6.0G -
Note the root filesystem is on a logical partition (/dev/sda5) which
virt-resize cannot handle:
https://libguestfs.org/virt-resize.1.html#logical-partitions
I wonder if there's a way to make Ubuntu templates that don't use
logical partitions?

[PATCH v3 0/7] v2v: rhv-upload-plugin: Performance improvments
by Nir Soffer
Update the plugin to API_VERSION 2, and enable parallel threading model. With
unordered writes in qemu-img, and 8 threads in nbdkit, matching number of
parallel coroutines in qemu-img, I see about 50% speedup compared with current
master.
I tested this on a vm, using NFS storage provided by another vm, and accessing
ovirt-engine on a third vm. Results are not stable, and can vary by 100%
between runs. I'm comparing the best result from 3-5 runs.
We need to test these changes with real images, real servers, and real storage
to get more reliable results, but I could not find avilable server yet.
Changes since v2:
- Add plugin#write_out_order method and use it to enable out of order writes
(-W) in the rhv upload plugin.
- Update the commit message about fua and flush support, based on the
discussion with Eric.
- Fix more typos in comments
v2 was here:

v2v: output_rhv_upload: Require nbdkit >= 1.22
v2v: rhv-upload-plugin: Use API_VERSION 2
v2v: rhv-upload-plugin: Support FUA
v2v: rhv-upload-plugin: Get imageio connections limits
v2v: rhv-upload-plugin: Support multiple connections

[PATCH nbdkit 0/6] cow: Implement trimming and extents.
by Richard W.M. Jones
This patch series implements trimming and extents in
nbdkit-cow-filter. The aim of this is to have feature parity with
qcow2 zero clusters, which we can then use to replace the qcow2
overlays currently used to protect the source disk in virt-v2v.
First 3 patches are some preparatory enhancements/clean-up.
To implement extents: We iterate over the blocks in the filter, if the
block is allocated (ie. contains a write which has been saved in the
overlay) then the whole block is allocated data, else we have to ask
the underlying plugin for the information about that block. (This
ends up making lots of small extents calls into the plugin, which
could be optimized in future.)
To implement trim: We extend the overlay bitmap with an extra bit per
block so we can store whether the block has been trimmed. A future
optimization is to actually trim the overlay (it only saves space,
it's not needed for correctness), but this patch series does not do
this.
Final patch implements a couple of tests.
Rich.
