Disks on the export domain are never used by a running VM so there is no reason to preallocate them. The system should always use sparse disks when copying to export domain.
When importing disks from export domain, the system should reconstruct the original disk configuration (e.g. raw-preallocated).
Hey Nir, I think you are wrong. In order to minimize the downtime , many users would use storage migration while the VM is running, then they power off, detach and attach on the new location , power on and live migrate while the VM works. I think preallocation should be based on VM status (running or offline). Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov
