+          Libvirt now accepts <code>&lt;backingStore type='volume'&gt;</code>
+          and allows specifying the offset and size of the image format
+          container inside the storage source via the <code>&lt;slices&gt;</code>
+          subelement.

+        </summary>
+        <description>
+          To resolve regressions when users didn't specify the backing image
+          format in the overlay, libvirt now probes the format in certain
+          secure scenarios which fixes a few common existing cases. Additionally
+          the knowledge base was extended to provide more information on how
+          to rectify the problem.
