Reproduce with python-virtinst-0.600.0-18.el6.noarch.
Verified with package:
python-virtinst-0.600.0-20.el6.noarch
steps:
# man virt-install
format
...
With libvirt 0.8.3 and later, this option should be specified if reusing an existing disk image, since
libvirt does not autodetect storage format as it is a potential security issue. For example, if reusing
an existing qcow2 image, you will want to specify format=qcow2, otherwise the hypervisor may not be
able to read your disk image.
No typo of "reusing and existing disk image" showed,so move to verified.
