Hi Gianluca,
I tried to clone the VM but it does not help. It is still thin allocation.
Best regards

Hi oVirt List,
I'm trying to change the disk allocation policy of a VM disk and
I'm not able to perform this task via the oVirt front-end.
Is someone able to tell me how I can do that?
Best regards and thank you

I've done it in the past by creating a snapshot of a VM and then
cloning the snapshot and selecting preallocated for the cloned disks
(if you have to do it without powering off the source VM)
Or directly creating a clone of the VM if it is powered off, I think
it creates a full preallocated copy and btw you have no way to tell to
clone as thin if I remember correctly
