Description of problem: virt-manager doesn't recognise automatically qcow2 image, so the disk drive is still specified with 'raw' type. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-0.8.2-6.el5 kvm-83-199.el5 virt-manager-0.6.1-13.el5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. # qemu-img create -f qcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/demo.qcow2 8G 2. Using virt-manager to create a new guest, and select the created qcow2 image. 3. # virsh dumpxml rhel6 <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/rhel6.qcow2'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> <alias name='ide0-hd0'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/> </disk> Actual results: qcow2 image can be normally used for guest install. Expected results: Guest's disk cannot be recognised by OS. Additional info:
