Re: [ovirt-users] Should we add 'cow' format disk in file domains in frontend UI ?
Offhand, sounds both useful and easy to do. I marked the BZ with 3.6.0, and we'll revisit when we plan the 3.6.0 version. Of course, if someone wants to contribute patches *wink wink, hint hint*. - Original Message - From: Daniel Helgenberger daniel.helgenber...@m-box.de To: Users@ovirt.org List users@ovirt.org Sent: Monday, September 1, 2014 6:11:00 PM Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Should we add 'cow' format disk in file domains in frontend UI ? IMHO definitely! I use qcow2 since years and consider it the superior format for most use cases; esp. when I run in export times for disk images of about 4h/TB of raw disk space with less then 5GB consumed actually. I would consder this as a big step forward for a ovit production installation. Thanks!
