Title:
glance should support the root-tar disk format
Status in Glance:
New
Status in glance package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
'root-tar' (indicating a root filesystem in tar archive format) has
been used for full system containers in OpenStack both under the
libvirt/lxc driver and under the new lxd driver (nova-lxd package).
Users are working around the lack of 'root-tar' default support in
glance by uploading images in this format as 'raw' (which is
incorrect) or updating the list of supported disk formats using the
glance-api configuration file to include 'root-tar'.
We should consider adding this to the list of defaults for supported
disk formats.
