Title:
  glance should support the root-tar disk format

Status in Glance:
  New
Status in glance package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  'root-tar' (indicating a root filesystem in tar archive format) has
  been used for full system containers in OpenStack both under the
  libvirt/lxc driver and under the new lxd driver (nova-lxd package).

  Users are working around the lack of 'root-tar' default support in
  glance by uploading images in this format as 'raw' (which is
  incorrect) or updating the list of supported disk formats using the
  glance-api configuration file to include 'root-tar'.

  We should consider adding this to the list of defaults for supported
  disk formats.
