Bug or feature? Thin provision RAW disk images take all space in advance
Hi, Run into strange problem with newly installed latest 4.1. Defined local storage domain. Create virtual disk - thin provisioning (in web interface) makes RAW images, and PREALLOCATES to full size instead of min size 1GB. Preallocation occurs even before formatting to ext4. Tried several times, same result. How to fix this behavior? Thanks in advance. Andrei
Dumb error. ls -la doesn't show real allocated size of sparse image, ls -lsha does the trick. On 11/15/2017 12:55 AM, andreil1@starlett.lv wrote:

Or second option for estimate file space usage is use # du -h $PATH_TO_DISKS On Wed, Nov 15, 2017 at 12:19 AM, andreil1@starlett.lv <andreil1@starlett.lv
