[Users] actual disk size of vm via api

[Sven Kieske]

Hi,

I got a question regarding the reported actual disk size
of a vm.

you can obtain this value fine via api:

https://your_engine/api/vms/{id}/disks/

however, if the vm is cloned from a template

this disk size does not seem to show the
actual size of the whole disk but instead
the difference from the actual template size.

is this a bug or a feature?
I would like to obtain the "real" size.

e.g. I have a template with 50GB (thin provisioned)
the actual size of this template is 1,5 GB

I clone a vm from this template, the actual size
which gets reported via api is about 8 MB (stuff that
changes from the template).

So I can not obtain the complete used size of the vm.

This was tested under ovirt 3.3.2
