Description The usage of manual doc and error message about 'sparse' are different in virt-install For the usage about 'sparse' of manual doc in virt-install: ... sparse whether to skip fully allocating newly created storage. Value is ’true’ or ’false’. Default is ’true’ (do not fully allocate). ... But when use '--nonsparse' with '--disk' parameters, Error message would be pop up as: ERROR Cannot mix --file, --nonsparse, or --file-size with --disk options. Use --disk PATH[,size=SIZE][,sparse=yes|no] The two usages should be consistent, sparse=yes|no or sparse=true|false. Version python-virtinst-0.600.0-12.el6.noarch libvirt-0.10.2-7.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Check manual doc of virt-install about sparse, check the usage explanation. 2. Use "--nonsparse" with "--disk" at the same time virt-install -n demo2 -r 512 -l http://tree.englab.nay.redhat.com/pub/rhel/released/RHEL-6/6.3/Server/x86_64/os/ --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/demo2.img,size=5 --nonsparse check the error message. 3. Compare the usage of manual doc and error message about 'sparse' Actual results： The usage were inconsistent, In manual doc, which should used as "--disk ...,sparse=false,..." But in error message, which hint Use "...--disk PATH[,size=SIZE][,sparse=yes|no]" Expected results: The usage should be consistent Additional info: Both of the usage "sparse=no" and "sparse=false" did not work.
