Description Eyal Shenitzky 2018-05-01 07:01:19 UTC 
Description of problem:

When creating a VM template in the UI there is no way select the template disks allocation policy.
Currently, the template disks will be created with the following rules:

QCow -> SPARSE
RAW + File -> SPARSE
RAW + Block -> PREALLOCATED

If the UI will supply this behavior the user will be able to select the specific template disks configuration.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
master-4.3.0 from commit 56af10f17ad1ed06611c99abec486fe03e91dd3e

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a VM with disks
2. Create a template from the VM using the UI

Actual results:
There is no way to select the disks allocation policy

Expected results:
The engine should supply a way to select the disk allocation policy
