[ovirt-users] Why RAW images when using GlusterFS?

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.

I never noticed or bothered before, but I'm wondering :
- is it by design?
- it is something we can change (I'd prefer qcow2)
- it there some limitations?

And finally, I have the same questions about NFS storage domains.

Thank you.
