If I create a preallocated disk for a VM, I see the disk image file listing=
as the size I requested (100G):
cd /rhev/data-center/mnt/storage_host1:_vol_pa1__nas__01b__oVirt__prod__01/=

and the corresponding space used on disk matches

If I then migrate that storage (while the VM is shutdown) to a new storage =
domain, the size on disk does not match the allocated size. In this case th=
ere is nothing in the disk yet so it shows as 0.

oVirt still lists the disk as preallocated in the GUI but it is in fact thi=
n provisioned.
I see the same issue if I clone a preallocated VM. The size on disk ends up=
being the equivalent of a thin-provisioned disk. I also had the issue when=
importing VM's from an export domain when I had selected preallocated in t=
he import dialog box.
Is this a known issue? Should preallocated not mean preallocated on physica=
l disk?
Ovirt Engine is running 3.6.4.1-1.el6
The ovirt nodes are running:
