This can be useful when it's + required to keep data "raw" on disk, but the use case requires features + of the QCOW2 format such as incremental backups. + * **Improvements** + * qemu: Support UEFI NVRAM images on block storage + + Libvirt now allows users to use block storage as backend for UEFI NVRAM + images and allows them to be in format different than the template.
