Hi,
The requirements that I can think of off the top of my head are:
1. The image should be bootable
2. The image is converted to raw before being written to the volume, so it
should be a format the 'qemu-img' understands (raw, qcow2, vmdk, vdi)
3. There must be sufficient space to write the raw version of the image

Thanks,
Avishay
