1 - I could not find a "clone template" option, only the option "copy" 
when you select a template's disk in Templates->Disks. Is this "copy"  
the "clone" that you mention?


2 - Then can't I use a storage domain only for templates (i.e. use a 
slow performance storage only for templates)?


3 - Another question, when you convert a VM to template I see that it is 
created with preallocated disk even if the original VM had thinly 
provisioned disk. Is there no way to make the template with the same 
type of disk (thinly provisioned)??
