Description Nan Zhang 2011-09-19 08:52:43 UTC

Description of problem:
As we know, the lastest qemu-kvm already support qed image format, so virt-manager also needs to support.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-0.9.4-11.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.190.el6.x86_64
virt-manager-0.9.0-6.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start up virt-manager
2. Edit -> Connection Details -> Storage -> New Volume

Actual results:
no qed option in [Format] for volume creation.

Expected results:
qed format could be created and displayed normally.

We actually store this list in virtinst, so that's where the fix is:

libvirt-0.9.4-17.el6.x86_64
python-virtinst-0.600.0-5.el6.noarch
virt-manager-0.9.0-7.el6.x86_64
