Hi,

I have an oVirt cluster with a storage domain hosted on a FC storage array that utilises block de-duplication technology. oVirt reports the capacity of the domain as though the de-duplication factor was 1:1, which of course is not the case. So what I would like to understand is the likely behavior of oVirt when the used space approaches the reported capacity. Particularly around the critical action space blocker.

oVirt does not know about the underlying block storage thin provisioning implemention so it cannot help with this.

You will have to use the underlying storage separately to learn about the actual allocation.

This is unlikely to change for legacy storage, but for Managed Block Storage (conderlib) we may have a way to access such info.

Gorka, do we have any support in cinderlib for getting info about storage alllocation and deduplication?
