[pve-devel] possible bug in move disk

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

if you "move" a qcow2 to lvm or iscsi, 

a copy is made (using qemu_img convert for offline or qmp drive-mirror for line), with format conversion to raw.

So at the end, you don't have a qcow2 format anymore.

But how do you store a disk file in qcow2 format on a storage only 
supporting raw? Like LVM and iSCSI.
