Package: virtinst
Version: 0.600.1-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When I use virt-clone to clone a guest machine with an image file in the qcow2
format, it changes the format to raw in the XML file of the clone. The cloned
image file itself is still qcow2 as it is suppossed.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a guest with qcow2 image file
2) Clone with virt-clone -o <guest name> --auto-clone
3) Start the clone; The harddisk is not bootable
virsh dumpxml <clone name> show type='raw' instead of type='qcow2' =>
changing this manually solves the boot problem
When Google'd, the bug is also in Red Hat's bugzilla:

Thanks for digging this up. It's fixed in unstable/lenny so marking the
bug a such. This is a candidate for a point release update if somebody
would dig out and test a patch that would be welcome since I most likely
won't get around to it for r2.
Cheers,
