[Bug 696318] Re: Starting VMs on qcow2 format with base images in level three fails

[Serge Hallyn]

As it turns out, this is actually a user error.

When creating the level2.img and level3.img, you must specify the
backing store type, because libvirt won't automatically detect those for
safety reasons.  So you should do:

qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o backing_fmt=qcow2 -b level1.img level2.img
qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o backing_fmt=qcow2 -b level2.img level3.img

After doing that, boot succeeds on my laptop.

** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid
