[one-users] Disk image type not propagated by saveas

[Tino Vazquez]

Dear Rob,

The "raw" disk type attribute is being pulled from the default, which
is set in /etc/one/vmm_exec/vmm_exec_kvm.conf  (in OpenNebula 3.0
Beta1, in OpenNebula 2.2 is /etc/one/vmm_kvm/vmm_kvm.conf IIRC).

Which version of OpenNebula are you using? In 3.0, you can update the
image template to add the type parameter, using "oneimage update".

Hope it helps,

-Tino
