Had this thought but since we use the cloud-install-sys-tmplt script, it assumes a qcow2.bz2, see: http://incubator.apache.org/cloudstack/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.0.1-incubating/html/Installation_Guide/management-server-install-flow.html#prepare-system-vm-template We can fix the script, will do that as soon as I get to my keyboard.
