   So I was able to finish the "Clone" feature in Linstor and continued to 
integrate this new functionality into the Linstor volume plugin. But while 
testing I encountered the following problem and I'm not sure who has to handle 
it(or how):
   
   I tried to setup a cluster with just the Linstor primary storage and my 
problem is now the format of the system-vm image.
   For kvm it is in the qcow2 format and as other storage providers Linstor 
will report RAW as supported and used format.
   But what I end up with is a qcow2 file stored within our block device(which 
isn't really that much of a problem) but libvirt will see the disk as RAW and 
will of course fail to boot the qcow2 image.
   
   So either the image gets converted while creating the first(hidden) base 
volume or I would need to tell libvirt somewhere that this is indeed a qcow2 
image.
   
   Do other storage plugins handle this correctly? Like RDB, Powerflex...? As I 
saw in the code they also only handle RAW format.
