Description of problem: When creating a template, it is possible to select disk type (thin or preallocated), but the choice is not respected and all the disks are created thin. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.2.5-2 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a VM with preallocated disk on NFS storage domain 2. Start Create Template dialogue for that VM 3. Select disk type - RAW (BTW - this shoudl be changed to THIN/PREALLOCATED). 4. Hit ok and wait till template is completed. Actual results: The disk is Thin Provisioned Expected results: The disk is preallocated. Additional info: It does not work the other way around as well: create thin-provisioned disk and select RAW -> will still result in thin-provisioned. It seem to work ok on block storage (iscsi tested).
HA. Even when the template get it right (on block storage) and get the disk type as preallocated, when creating a VM from that template (on that same block storage type), it creates it as thin-provisioned. I will skip opening separate bug for that.
