Hi Guido,
I have attached a patch for CloneManager.py and tested that on my
installation. This will create valid clones of the original guest by
keeping a qcow2 image as a qcow2 type in the XML of the guest.
I have patched the version that comes with Debian Wheezy. I hope this
can make it into the point release.
Cheers,
Roy
