[one-users] datablock - poor performance

[Andrei Vakhnin]

Hello,

I am wondering if qcow2 datablock gives a better performance over raw format. 
Do I have to use separate datastore to be able to use qcow2 images?  I am 
getting performance hit (only 12MB/s) when using 50GB non-persistent raw 
datablock formatted as ext3. Thanks
