Hi, `man virt-install` says the following. But it is not clear to me what format is used if it is not specified explicitly. Does anybody know? Should this be documented? Also, how to check what the format is of an image file? Thanks. format Image format to be used if creating managed storage. For file volumes, this can be 'raw', 'qcow2', 'vmdk', etc. See format types in <http://libvirt.org/storage.html> for possible values. This is often mapped to the driver_type value as well. With libvirt 0.8.3 and later, this option should be specified if reusing an existing disk image, since libvirt does not autodetect storage format as it is a potential security issue. For example, if reusing an existing qcow2 image, you will want to specify format=qcow2, otherwise the hypervisor may not be able to read your disk image. -- Regards, Peng _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list virt-tools-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
