Hello,

is it possible to add "pipe"-Mode like this?

dd if=/dev/sda | qemu-img convert -f raw - -O qcow2 newImage.img

I know i can read directly from device, but in some cases (i.e. get data
from netcat) it would be nice to convert from stdin. Alternative: read
from fifo.

Another wish is to mount an compressed qcow-Image as loop-Device.

Regards
D. Schreiber
