While working on v1.0.5-maint (the branch in use on Fedora 19) with the host at Fedora 20, I got a failure in virstoragetest. I traced it to the fact that we were using qemu-img to create a qcow2 file, but qemu-img changed from creating v2 files by default in F19 to creating v3 files in F20. Rather than leaving it up to qemu-img, it is better to write the test to force testing of BOTH file formats (better code coverage and all). This patch alone does not fix all the failures in v1.0.5-maint; for that, we must decide to either teach the older branch to understand v3 files, or to reject them outright as unsupported. But for upstream, making the test less dependent on changing qemu-img defaults is always a good thing. * tests/virstoragetest.c (testPrepImages): Simplify creation of raw file; check if qemu supports compat and if so use it.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
