It may be a bug in libvirt for not explicitly requesting raw (we DO want the NBD server to be raw, but need to be explicit so as to avoid unsafe probing). > >>From the error itself, I can tell that nbd server treat this image as raw, > rather than qcow2.

Just because the underlying file on the disk is qcow2 does not impact what the NBD is serving - the NBD connection MUST be raw, unless you have a funky situation with a qcow2 file whose contents are also a nested qcow2 encoding of data. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
