Same as Gluster, and other file-based storage.

Hello,
Amongst others, I have one 3.6 DC working very well since years and all
based on GlusterFS.
When having a close look (qemu-img info) on the images, I see their
format is all RAW and not QCOW2.
Raw sparse.
I never noticed or bothered before, but I'm wondering :
- is it by design?
Yes, for performance reasons.
- it is something we can change (I'd prefer qcow2)
