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].
