Hello Tim,

looking at the code, I see this in gnu/image.scm:
(define-record-type* <image>
  image make-image
  image?
  (name               image-name ;symbol
                      (default #false))
  (format             image-format                ;symbol
                      (sanitize validate-image-format))
...

and a bit above:
;; The supported image formats.
(define-set-sanitizer validate-image-format format
  (disk-image compressed-qcow2 docker iso9660 tarball wsl2))

So my guess is that 'compressed-qcow2 would be the value to put there.

Andreas
