Hi,

The target is for user to import .qcow2 image from download site and automatically
stored as raw image. Read through [1], this seems doable. I am not sure the workflow.
Does it download the whole qcow2 and convert it to raw locally, or download, convert
and upload in a streaming way, which only require small space for caching?
The question is that, how much local disk space is required for such import and conversion?

Thanks!
Tony
