Re: [ovirt-users] Should we add 'cow' format disk in file domains in frontend UI ?
IMHO definitely!
I use qcow2 since years and consider it the superior format for most use
cases; esp. when I run in export times for disk images of about 4h/TB of
raw disk space with less then 5GB consumed actually.
I would consder this as a big step forward for a ovit production
installation.
Thanks!

Hello,
We had experience that if we clone vm from snapshot with sprase raw disk in file
domains, the process would get very slow if the disk defined virtual size is big
but actual size is small, so i popose the frontend UI to be able to add caw disk
in file domains.
And I'm happy to implement it. I want to know if there is any problem with my
theory, I'm not so experienced in storage. And I created a more detailed
expanation to address this problem:
