cork: download-image: rename qemu->raw, support downloading qemu qcow images

Open mischief opened this issue 10 years ago • 4 comments

current when one specifies qemu as a platform to cork download-image, it downloads coreos_production_image.bin.bz2 which is a raw disk file. instead, qemu should download coreos_production_qemu_image.img.bz2 which is a qemu qcow image, and raw should download coreos_production_image.bin.bz2.

Why bother with qcow? performance is shit and the only difference between it and the base image is a larger disk size

i'd like the smaller images :)

my /tmp is a 4G tmpfs.

images should be sparse though so it shouldn't make a difference

that's why I use cp to copy them to /tmp
