I'm guessing you used 'clone' (default for new server) rather than 
'thinly provisioned' (default for new desktop).
clone means the template disk is copied/cloned for better performance, 
rather than COW (less space).
when the disk is cloned, there is no longer a relation to the original 
template at storage level.
