python-virtinst-0.400.3-8.fc11.noarch If you use e.g. virt-install --nonsparse, notice that the disk image isn't pre-allocated. This is due to: if self.sparse: alloc = 0 else: #alloc = cap # XXX: disable setting managed storage as nonsparse # XXX: since it hoses libvirtd (for now) alloc = 0 This is removed upstream: http://hg.et.redhat.com/cgi-bin/hg-virt.cgi/applications/virtinst--devel/rev/e34de678f53a It looks like it needs this libvirt-0.6.3 change: http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff;h=5aed3bcdda So we can: a) backport the libvirt commit to F-11 and re-enable nonsparse in virtinst or b) just move this bug to F-12 and close when F-12 gets the next virtinst release
Since I haven't heard any complaints about forcing sparse files, I think we can just closed this as current release for F12. The libvirt change is fairly sized, so I don't think the backport and coordinated updates are worth it. Closing as RAWHIDE.
