This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------060505080108050904040500 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, When instancing a new VM from a template, the image is copied with "qemu-img convert -t none -T none -f _*raw*_". Why are we using RAW instead of QCOW2? I noticed that the template is also in RAW format. Is this the reason the instanced image is also RAW? BTW, I prefer QCOW2, because Gluster and other filesystems are still not supporting sparse files [1].
