I don't think this is possible. The default format for file based storage domain like glusterfs and nfs is raw-sparse. The only way to create a qcow2-sprase file today is to create the disk via the REST API which give you more control over the disk properties. In 4.3 selecting "enable incremental backup" will always create qcow2 images, but this is internal implementation detail that may change in the future. Daniel, can we make the defaults configurable in engine.config? Nir
