Re: [ovirt-users] ovirt vm disk space not release

Sorry, I must have misunderstood. So if I understand you correctly you want to reduce the space a thin provision disk takes up on the NFS share because you deleted files within the VM? I'm pretty sure that thin provisioned disks can only grow. Once they have been expanded there's no way to reclaim that space on the NFS share. The only thing I think you can do is create a new thin provisioned disk and copy the old data over at the file level, not the block level. Afterwards you could delete the original disk.
