Problem creating VM with qcow2

[Eric Renfro]

I was having a problem creating a new VM with specific issues related to it.

Basically here's what I ran into. My ISO's are on NAS3, and my VM disk images are on NAS1 in qcow2 format. When I tried to create a new VM with my selected ISO, using qcow2 for the disk format as per normal, I got this error:

TASK ERROR: create failed - unsupported format 'qcow2' at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage.pm line 1283.

When I re-did the configuration to not use any media (no CD disk), it worked like a charm. I just had to go add the CD disk to it afterwards so I could proceed for the installation of the OS and all.

I am on the very latest Proxmox VE 2.0:

That error is only triggered if your storage type is LVM? Please can you post the output of

# cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg
