+ The optional <code>copy_on_read</code> attribute controls
+ wether to copy read backing file into the image file. The
+ value can be either "on" or "off".
+ Copy-on-read avoids accessing the same backing file sectors
+ repeatedly and is useful when the backing file is over a slow
+ network. By default copy-on-read is off.
