[ovirt-users] Re: Linked Clones?
At least KVM can do that.
If I understood correctly, you want a base disk for multiple VMs and the delta should be
stored in separate disk, right?
I am using VDO (with gluster) under my storage, so any duplicate data is deduplicated
(and if yiu enable compression - compressed) by VDO.
Have you thought about VDO - it works with almost any block storage ?Of course both
technology will reduce the I/O performance compared to raw storage.
Also, let's see if actually oVirt has such option...

Hi,
I am approaching and studying oVirt in order to propose the solution to a customer as a
replacement for a commercial solution they have now.
They only need Desktop virtualization.
Sorry for the silly question, but I can't find a way to deploy a VM (template) to
users as a "linked-clone", meaning that the users' image still refers to the
original image but modification are written (and afterwards read) from a new location.
This technique is called Copy-on-write.
Can this be achieved with oVirt?
