Many thanks for your information Dafna. Quick Start Guide doesn't explain nothing about this and I have follewed it to create the two VM, Fedora 17 and Windows 7, that I'm using to create Templates and when I have arrived to this part I have found this problem. Now I know what is the procedure<div>

Hi Juan,<br>
<br>
I see what the issue is and it's actually by design.<br>
The template you created has a Preallocated image.<br>
in NFS, to make a preallocated image we actually write to the disk to<br>
make it preallocated.<br>
<br>
as you can see, I created a vm with preallocated disk in NFS and if I<br>
run DU during the creation of the image you can see the size go up:<br>
<br>
2.4G .<br>
[root@orion f1a6a2e7-38f1-4a7c-8f3b-efbca664d7aa]# du -h<br>
2.5G .<br>
[root@orion f1a6a2e7-38f1-4a7c-8f3b-efbca664d7aa]# du -h<br>
2.6G .<br>
[root@orion f1a6a2e7-38f1-4a7c-8f3b-efbca664d7aa]#<br>
<br>
<br>
so in NFS storage, if your template is preallocated you cannot create a<br>
thin provision copy vm (distinguishing between the actual data and<br>
previously zeroed will be complicated).<br>
you can create a snapshot of that image which will be thin provision but<br>
it will be linked to the template.<br>
or you can create a thin provision template and than create a thin<br>
provision vm or preallocated vm.<br>
