Bug Description
I attempted to import an existing qcow2 virtual machine image file through the virt-manager GUI interface. The image was in qcow2 format, but virt-manager created a libvirt profile with the image file classified as "raw":
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/
If I do a "virsh dumpxml", edit the driver tag so that the attribute is "qcow2", and then do "virsh define" with the edited XML file, the virtual machine image boots successfully.
