Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] rbd: Use rbd_create3 to create RBD format 2 images by default

This new RBD format supports snapshotting and cloning. By having libvirt create images in format 2 end-users of the created images can benefit from the new RBD format. Older versions of libvirt can work with this new RBD format as long as librbd supports format 2. RBD format is supported by librbd since version 0.56 (Ceph Bobtail).
