Hi Arik, I don’t see an option to select ‘allocation-policy=clone and specifying that the VM disk(s) should be preallocated’ when creating a VM from the template.

Another one might be to import the OVA as a template and then provision a VM from that template with allocation-policy=clone and specifying that the VM disk(s) should be preallocated On Fri, Mar 11, 2022 at 7:56 AM Strahil Nikolov via Users wrote: > One workaround that comes to my mind is to power up the VM, write a large > file and delete it and run fstrim -av. > Another approach is to create an additional LV inside the guest, use dd to > fill it in and then blkdiscard and delete the LV . > > It will force the fisk to be fully allocated > > Best Regards, > Strahil Nikolov > > Thanks Arik, > > Is there a fix that can be applied to current versions as 4.5 release and > subsequent testing/approval is some way off/ > > ___ > Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org > Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html > oVirt Code of Conduct: > https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ > List Archives: > > https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/HXTHUA5QFBBCLMQPKM25ACANVVNL7XKC/ > > ___ > Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org > Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html > oVirt Code of Conduct: > https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ > List Archives: > https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/4WUBMHETRW6O3PN3YNEFJAEW5SNCO3XX/ > ___ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/7B5GX4XLLDSJG5FAOQCCRBPMI6UNNRWC/

One workaround that comes to my mind is to power up the VM, write a large file and delete it and run fstrim -av.Another approach is to create an additional LV inside the guest, use dd to fill it in and then blkdiscard and delete the LV . It will force the fisk to be fully allocated Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov Thanks Arik, Is there a fix that can be applied to current versions as 4.5 release and subsequent testing/approval is some way off/ ___ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/HXTHUA5QFBBCLMQPKM25ACANVVNL7XKC/ ___ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/4WUBMHETRW6O3PN3YNEFJAEW5SNCO3XX/
