This should be fixed for RHEL-6.2 by the libvirt-0.9.2-1.el6 rebase, Daniel
According to comment 6, move it to VERIFIED.
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Due to a regression, libvirt used undocumented command line options, instead of the recommended ones. Consequently, the qemu-img utility used an invalid argument while creating an encrypted volume, and the process eventually failed. With this update, the bug in the backing format of the storage back end has been fixed, and encrypted volumes can now be created as expected.
Eric, is that a fair summary?
(In reply to comment #11) > Eric, is that a fair summary? I tweaked the wording. The key point was that the earlier fix to avoid undocumented command lines introduced the regression the prevented use of encryption.

But the fix to have libvirt use the updated command line options introduced a regression that prevented the creation of an encrypted volume. With this update, the bug in qemu-img command line arguments has been fixed, and encrypted volumes can now be created as expected.
