libvirt treats 'luks' images as raw+encryption. The logic in qemuBlockStorageSourceCreateFormat skipped the creation if the requested image was raw but didn't take into account the encryption. This manifested itself e.g. when attempting to do a virsh blockcopy with the following XML: <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/tmp/enccpy'> <encryption format='luks'> <secret type='passphrase' uuid='0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccc2f80d6f'/> </encryption> </source> </disk> Where qemu would report the following error: unable to execute QEMU command 'blockdev-add': Volume is not in LUKS format rather than actually formatting the image first.
