qcow2 can do a copy on write layer, although it can be disabled IIRC.
So if COW is turned on, you get only the delta in the instance
directory when using qcow2.
It seems you have to set images_type=raw (or use_cow_images=false) to
disable copy on write, image will be handled by Raw class from
imagebackend.py.
Cheers,

Hello,
Do I understand correctly, that both Qcow2 and Raw classes in
libvirt/imagebackend.py can work with images in qcow2 format, but Raw copies
the whole base image from cache to the instance's dir and Qcow2 only creates
a delta (and use base image from cache)?
