Ohh, I see that I haven't sent to the list, so I do that now....


 Hi!

Ahaa, I can shed some light here...

This is a part of the log in engine:

And the important part is that it say`s that "error = Volume Group not big enough: ('VG size must be more than 10240 MiB',)"

The LUN I created is a qcow2-LUN of 50 Gb size, which of coarse doesn't have the size of 50 Gb, because it is a thin provisioned LUN.

So question is then: Doesn't oVirt support thin provisioned LUN's? If not, it is not very good, because most SAN's provide thin provisioned LUN's nowaday's...
This is perhaps a limitation of LVM2? It would be a real setback to not be able to use qcow2, though....
