QEMU supports various image formats, but we only provide security support for raw, qcow, qcow2, and vhd formats.
Rather than duplicate this information under the "x86/Emulated storage" section, just refer to the "Blkback" section. Signed-off-by: George Dunlap <[email protected]> --- This is a candidate for backport to 4.10. Other option I explored was giving each format its own entry, like this: #### Image format: Raw Status, Linux (xen-blkback): Supported Status, QEMU (xen_disk): Supported Status, FreeBSD (blkback): Supported, Security support external Status, NetBSD (xbdback): Supported, security support external Status, Blktap2: Deprecated But that led to a lot of duplication (Everything is listed as "supported" once under "Blkback", and once under "Image format: Raw").
