When I was going through the source and resizevolume.sh, In the libvirtcomputing resources, we are restricting to resize only for "raw" disks. But in the resizevolume.sh which will actually do the resizing of the disks, this file has the function resizeqcow2() which is actually has the capability to resize qcow2 image.
>From this source http://linux.die.net/man/1/qemu-img qemu-img resize supports qcow2 image format also. Am not sure why we are restricting not to convert qcow2 images.
