Public bug reported:
'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.
