Hi All,
During the ova import process, preallocated disk policy is selected and the VM is imported
successfully.
Unfortunately the disks remain as Thin Provisioned - is this a known bug and is there a
workaround?
Kind Regards

This should be fixed in oVirt 4.5:

Thanks Arik,
Is there a fix that can be applied to current versions as 4.5 release and subsequent
testing/approval is some way off/

One workaround that comes to my mind is to power up the VM, write a large file and delete
it and run fstrim -av.Another approach is to create an additional LV inside the guest, use
dd to fill it in and then blkdiscard and delete the LV .
It will force the fisk to be fully allocated

Another one might be to import the OVA as a template and then provision a
VM from that template with allocation-policy=clone and specifying that the
VM disk(s) should be preallocated
