Can you please tell me what disk type you have on the template and send
a screen shot of the Resource Allocation tab to the users(a)ovirt.org list?

once you do that, the allocation policy scroll will become active and

let me know if after you select the clone you still only have
preallocated.

New subject: [Users] Thin Provisioning
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.

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
