Under that directory there is no block-qcow2.c indeed.With "disk = ['tap2:tapdisk:qcow2:/....../myqcow1.img,xvda,w']" configured in the configure file myqcow1.hvm, however,myqcow1.img could be used to create a VM just using "xl create myqcow1.hvm".Only myqcow2.img could not be used to create a VM normally with the error "no bootable device found" happening.that is weird...

(I just would like to use multi-layer image files to create VMs.Either qcow format or qcow2 format is right.)
