[ovirt-users] Why so long to add virtual HDD?

Hello,
I am wondering why it takes so long to provision a HDD for a VM? I
typically do full provision (as opposed to "thin" provision) and while I
have never sat there and timed it, it takes at least ten minutes to
provision a 32GB HDD. I provisioned a 100GB HDD earlier today and even
after 45 minutes it was not complete.
I am from the VMware world where it takes less than a minute (usually
more like 30 seconds or so) to provision a VM, regardless of HDD assigned.
My host's physical HDD's are 2x2TB SATA drives in a hardware RAID1.
oVirt storage is an NFS pool connecting to my host machine (for all
intents and purposes, local storage)
I wonder if I have things mis-configured? Is it normal for provisioning
to take that long?
Thanks! :-)
