Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Re: How to use qcow image with ioemu-remote?
Ian,

Thanks for your reply. it should be a bug.

This image is qcow image not qcow2 image: 
`file ia32e_rhel5u1.qcow` shows: ia32e_rhel5u1.qcow: QEMU Copy-On-Write
disk image version 1, size 1 + 1073741824

With "disk = [ 'tap:qcow2:/vm-img/ia32e_rhel5u1.qcow,hda,w' ]", also
failed to create guest with qemu log:
Strip off blktap sub-type prefix to /vm-img/ia32e_rhel5u1.qcow (drv
'qcow2')
qemu: type (image format) 'qcow2' unknown for vbd
'/local/domain/13/device/vbd/768/phantom_vbd' or image
'/vm-img/ia32e_rhel5u1.qcow'

So I filed a bug to track this issue:
http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1304.
