I know that floating disks are coming in the next version of oVirt, but in the interim I want to know internally what the procedure is when a disk is cloned when creating a VM from a template.

Hi, Today when creating a VM from template the user can choose the provisioning method: - It can be 'Thin' in which the engine is taking a snapshot of the template disks (running AddVMCommand which executes CreateSnapshotFromTemplateCommand) - Or 'Clone' which results in cloning the template disks (executes AddVmFromTemplateCommand which in turn executes CreateCloneOfTemplateCommand) Thanks, Livnat
