[pve-devel] [PATCH v2 storage 5/7] api: alloc: allow 'vmdk' for the 'format' option

[Fiona Ebner]

The API endpoint will automatically detect the format from the
extension for raw, qcow2 and vmdk, but it was not yet possible to
specify the format explicitly via the parameter. This could be
annoying/surprising to users. There also might be third-party plugins
that want to use vmdk, but not require a suffix in the name. Add
'vmdk' as an allowed format to avoid these issues and for consistency
by using the 'pve-storage-format' format.
