hi,all

the following are files of pool and volume.

storage pool is based on logical(LVM) and iscsi,now I create volume specified the format to "qcow2"

*pool.xml* <pool type='logical'> <name>pool_190</name> <source> <device path='/dev/disk/by-path/ip-192.168.0.190:3260-iscsi-iqn.2012-11.com.cloudking:server.target1-lun-1'/> </source> <target> <path>/dev/pool_190</path> </target> </pool>

*volume.xml* <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <volume> <name>volume1</name> <capacity unit="GB">1</capacity> <target> <format type="qcow2" /> </target> </volume>

*the problmes is :when the volume created successfully,However, the volume's format is 'raw'*

The use of non-raw formats is only supported for file based storage volumes. You're using LVM, so its always creating it raw.
