Hi all,<br><br>I see that exporting a VM with ThinProvisioning will make an image with the full disk size, instead of the currently used size: <br>- VM has a 20GB disk<br>- installed OS is taking 1.3GB<br>- exported disk is taking 20GB<br>
<br>Is this mandatory? Couldn't the export make a file with the same size, also sparse? It seems it only does a copy of the folder and the normal linux cp can make a sparse copy.<br><br>thank you,<br>Cristian Falcas<br>
