+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ For a long time libvirt was assuming that a backing file is RAW when
+ the format was not specified. This didn't pose a problem until blockdev
+ support was enabled in last release. Libivrt now requires that
+ the format is specified in the image metadata or domain XML and the
+ VM will refuse to start otherwise. Additionally the error message
+ now links to the knowledge base which summarizes how to fix the images.
