Hi.
Once again a Newbie Question...

I create an new VM. So...for Disc-Format i can take Raw disk image (raw) or VMware image format (vmdk) or QEMU.
Is one the Best or the fastest Format?

At this time i use vmdk.

But i want know the right one.

raw is fast (as its no "format"), qcow2 is needed if you want to use live snapshots (new feature in 2.2).
