Description

Issues:

  1. Restore backed-up volume on live instances attaches the qcow2 volume as a Raw image, which causes the instance to not
    be able to read it.
  2. In the cloudstack db the format of the restored volume is kept as Raw (for both live and stopped VMs). Although it doesn't cause any immediate effects, but it might cause some issue with other subsystems like volume migration.

Fix:

  1. virsh attach-disk command which is used to attach the restored volume to the live instance should include --subdriver qcow2 argument.
  2. NAS backup always converts the disk into Qcow2 format while backing up, so it's safe to set the disk format of the restored volume always to Qcow2 in the db.

How Has This Been Tested?

  1. Create a VM with a data vol
  2. Install ext4 fs on the data vol, mount it and create a file
  3. Take NAS backup
  4. Create another instance and restore the data vol from the backup to the new instance
  5. Try to mount the data vol
    Before fix it throws the following error:
    Screenshot from 2025-05-09 22-18-23
    and domainxml shows the disk as raw
       <disk type='file' device='disk'>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>                                                 

After fix these issues are resolved.
