The progress bar of the "virt-clone --nonsparse" command shows the progress rate exceeding 100%
Issue
When trying to clone a guest by virt-clone command with --nonsparse option, the progress bar shows the progress rate exceeding 100%.

It seems that the progress rate shows the sparseness of the new clone image, and the value may exceed 1 (it depends on the guest image).
(Therefore, the disk size of the image is larger than virtual size.)
