Title:
  RAW backing device for ephemeral disks

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Hi guys,

      While doing some auditing on disk usage, we've noticed that the
  backing device for ephemeral disks is created by a slow mkfs.ntfs
  (when the ephemeral disk is ntfs), is there any reasons why it's not
  done using qcow2?

  Also, could we add a quick format option  ?  Not everbody requires the
  same level of filesystem security and sometimes, performances prevail
  on security (for internal clouds for instance).

  Dave
