I just installed a fresh PVE 4.4 with local-lvm and ceph rbd storage.
Now when creating a new VM I'm unable to select 'qcow2' format or any other except 'raw' for unknown reason.
It does not matter if I try to use ceph-rbd or local-lvm the 'Format' GUI field is always grayed out.

I know that this worked with PVE 4.3.

Am I missing anything? Every configuration is at default.
Code:
cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg
dir: local
        path /var/lib/vz
        content vztmpl,iso,backup

lvmthin: local-lvm
        thinpool data
        vgname pve
        content rootdir,images

rbd: Ceph-Storage
        monhost 192.168.10.11;192.168.10.12;192.168.10.13
        krbd 0
        content images,rootdir
        username admin
        pool rbd


Thanks!
 
both ceph and thinlvm are block based storages, not file base storages such as "directory" or "nfs", so there is no file which format you can select

edit: typo
