I see, weird that i couldn't find that bug report with google, even after spending so much time searching info on this topic.
So what is the preferred method of freeing up space now, since sparsifying is disabled?
Sparsify-image is not disabled, it can still be invoked on raw volumes.
Does enabling "discard" for VM disk take care of freeing up used space taken by deleted files on a thin provisioned disk?
I have it enabled on few of my testvms but have not seen it have any effect, need to read up on that feature, only used sparsify previously for this operation.
Yeah, pass-discard could be an option if your underlying storage supports it.
You can read more about it in the original feature page:
But as I previously wrote, sparsifying the image without going through ovirt-engine (but let's say, with the VDSM API) is also an option if you don't care about the reduction in size not being reflect in oVirt
