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