Ah .. this does explain why the fstrim failed on every disk apart from
/dev/sda.
My patches to implement fstrim in NTFS give up unless the partition is
aligned sufficiently:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ntfs-3g.devel/1074
/dev/sda is sufficiently aligned, but the other 8 disks are not.
This is rather unfortunate for you because fstrim would undoubtedly
have saved network bandwidth as well as making qemu-img do less.
At least that mystery is solved.
Rich.
