Description Robin Hack 2014-07-11 09:38:06 UTC
Description of problem:
Hi Cole!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-1.0.1-3.fc20.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 1.74 GB of free disk space on target storage

2. On step 4 of 5 (or where wizard will ask) choose:
   Enable Storage for this virtual machine
   ---> Create a disk image on the computer's hard drive:
   Ok. So I have 18.3 GB free space on my storage.
   I selected 100 GB size of qcow2 file. 
   Now, dialog box about enought disk capacity raises... Clicked to Ok,
   sup sup. Machine is up and running.

    "Me so happy."

   And Now For Something Completely Different...

3. On step 4 of 5 choose: Select managed or other existing storage
   ---> Click to Browse.
      ---> Select storage with 1.7 GB of free space
        ---> Click to New volume

Create storage volume dialog box now contains:
    Format: qcow2
    Storage Volume Quota
    VM's available space: 1.74 GB

    Max capacity: 1.0 -/+ GB

I'm not able to choose more than 1 GB. But in previous wizard flow I was able to create 100 GB qcow2 file on 18.3 GB volume.

Indeed, thanks for the report. Moving to the upstream tracker since it's not a major issue

    createvol: Don't cap capacity to host space (bz 1118706)
    
    Only cap allocation, since we can overcommit with sparse images.
