Hi,
Just got test setup of oVirt 4.1 running.
Seem to be really brilliant piece of software.
1) Defined local storage domain.
Create virtual disk - thin provisioning makes RAW images by default instead of QCOW2.
It preallocated all space in advance.
I looked inside META file in the same folder as disk image - it is marked as RAW.
May be its converted to RAW because I formatted it as 3 partitions: SWAP + Boot Ext4 +
Root Ext4 ?
Should I use single Ext4 partition per virtual disk image to keep it QCOW2 ?
Is there any way to change this behaviour, or convert RAW into QCOW2 within oVirt?
Certainly I can do it with QEMU, but image become unregistered, or may be some
functionality become broken.
2) SWAP partition - is it better to create small 1GB SWAP as RAM disk or use 4GB partition
on virtual RAW disk, or I’m wrong here ?
Thanks in advance.
