The problem is the weird way the kernel maps the disklabel partitions: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/block/partitions/msdos.c#L303-L310 The kernel will not map a disklabel subpartition if it has the same boundaries with the parent (MBR) partition or if its boundaries exceed the disklabel. In the disklabel's partition table 'a' is always the root partition, 'b' is the swap, in OpenBSD and FreeBSD 'c' is...

So if format=raw and --format qcow2, then virt-builder knows it must convert the image. This is the code: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/master/builder/builder.ml#L310-L333 The --format command line parameter defaults to raw (and this is documented in the manual). It doesn't matter what the original template format was. > Why? I've built my own repo with all xz-compressed qcow images and > it seems crazy to me that `virt-builder` can't auto-d...
