Comment 0 for bug 1947513

Hi
We need setup that will copy a whole image from _base for fully independedt instance ephemeral disks, so we decided to use images_type = flat
But we got a bug at password injection stage with a lot of messages that tell about raw disk type (but it is qcow2 actually!).
Images are based only on QCOW2.

Nova: 23.0.1
Libvirt: 6.0.0
Virt: Libvirt+KVM
Storage: Ephemeral local disks

*nova.conf*

images_type = flat
use_cow_images = false
force_raw_images = false

The most embarassing thing that it is logging about raw format, but all images is QCOW2 format and also at disk.info also qcow2 format. Mostly it is bug.
