can we change the existing file's extent size?

Ah, no, that isn't the extsize I'm refering to. That's for realtime
device configuration at mkfs, not a per-inode extent size hint.

When you create the image file do this:

$ xfs_io -f -c "extsize 1m" /path/to/new/vm_image
$ qemu-image create -f qcow2 /path/to/new/vm_image 10g
$ xfs_io -c extsize /path/to/new/vm_image
[1048576] /path/to/new/vm_image
$

And now the qcow2 image file will have extents allocated in
multiples of 1MB.

Cheers,

Dave.
