From 9117b47717ad208b12786ce88eacb013f9b3dd1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Wolf Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2013 10:38:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] qcow2: Change default for new images to compat=1.1 By the time that qemu 1.7 will be released, enough time will have passed since qemu 1.1, which is the first version to understand version 3 images, that changing the default shouldn't hurt many people any more and the benefits of using the new format outweigh the pain. qemu-iotests already runs with compat=1.1 by default.
