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.

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@ovirt.org <mailto:users@ovirt.org> list?
