This bug still exist on rhel7.9 with version:
cockpit-machines-195.8-2.el7_9.x86_64

Steps:
1. Prepare a Physical Disk Device pool: pdd-pool and add it in the Storage Pools, format as msdos.
2. Prepare a VM, open the Disks tab, click Add Disk and configure options as following:
Source: Create New
Pool: pdd-pool
Name: test
Size: 1 GiB
3. Click Add 

Actual results:
Error occurs:
Error message: unsupported configuration: unknown volume format type qcow2

Expected results:
Disk can be created successfully.

Katerina, can you please prepare a backport to the rhel-7.9 branch for this? Thanks!

Katerina landed a fix in our rhel-7.9 backport. She applied it to your test system, does it work now? We'll cut another release/build next Monday.

Comment 12 Martin Pitt 2020-06-10 17:08:10 UTC
Fixed in cockpit-195.12-1.el7_9 , updated erratum. Sorry that this took three attempts!

Comment 14 Xianghua Chen 2020-06-11 09:37:16 UTC
Verified with package:
cockpit-machines-195.12-1.el7_9.x86_64
libvirt-dbus-1.3.0-1.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1. Prepare a Physical Disk Device pool: pdd-pool and add it in the Storage Pools, format as msdos.
2. Prepare a VM, open the Disks tab, click Add Disk and configure options as following:
Source: Create New
Pool: pdd-pool
Name: sdb1
Size: 1 GiB
3. Click Add 
4. Open the Disks tab agian, click Add Disk ,choose the pdd-pool any other value as format(don't click add) and then change back to none, then click add

In step 3 and step 4, the disk can be added successfully.
So verified.
