Hi all,
I see that exporting a VM with ThinProvisioning will make an image with the full disk size, instead of the currently used size: - VM has a 20GB disk - installed OS is taking 1.3GB - exported disk is taking 20GB
Is this mandatory? Couldn't the export make a file with the same size, also sparse? It seems it only does a copy of the folder and the normal linux cp can make a sparse copy.
thank you, Cristian Falcas

Is it exporting a a raw image, right?

Hi Alex, I don't understand what you mean by raw. I was saying that the same file could be copied as a sparse file instead. Cristian
