Hello,

On my KVM cluster, which is new and not in production yet since I am still 
tuning, I noticed that snapshots were taking a long time to complete. And when 
say a long time, I mean 45seconds to 1 min.  The VM is, of course, paused when 
this happens. As you can imagine, this is unusable. The connection to the NFS 
storage is 100G and all NVME. While a snapshot is running, I can see it hitting 
the storage really hard. I then looked at the KVM process for that VM on the 
KVM server and it looks like it is using RAW for the format.

I created this VM by spinning up a new VM in CloudStack so I could make my 
template.

So I have a couple questions. How do I specify QCOW2 when making new volumes or 
spinning up new VMs and I assume that snapshots should not take this long, 
correct?

Thank you for all your help.
