That _is_ what I did! Hmm. Makes it an external process to track VM lineage without that data. So use the thin-provision only to allow this tracking. And this works with windows VMs? will test shortly. On Sun, Dec 9, 2012 at 12:41 PM, Itamar Heim <iheim@redhat.com> wrote:

Greetings,
I've built several new templates from the blank template and a ISO install of various OS's. However, when I built a new VM using the new template(s), the new VM still says it's based from the blank template. I expected it to say it was from the "template-foo" U specified. The VM is correctly built from the template so I think it's a generation/database issue.
I'm guessing you used 'clone' (default for new server) rather than 'thinly provisioned' (default for new desktop). clone means the template disk is copied/cloned for better performance, rather than COW (less space). when the disk is cloned, there is no longer a relation to the original template at storage level.
