I don't think this is possible. The default format for file based storage
domain like
glusterfs and nfs is raw-sparse.

The only way to create a qcow2-sprase file today is to create the disk via
the REST
API which give you more control over the disk properties.

In 4.3 selecting "enable incremental backup" will always create qcow2
images, but
this is internal implementation detail that may change in the future.

Daniel, can we make the defaults configurable in engine.config?
