Inconsistent guest OS disk size compared to volume.img size

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I  have looked all over the internet but I can not even find a
reference to this issue.


I have installed the following on Linux Mint 17.1
QEMU emulator version 2.0.0 (Debian 2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.19), Fabrice Bellard

On that, I have created a Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS guest and created a
storage volume of 12.88GB. The format that I used was raw.

The host uses a physical mirrored drive and I did NOT use LVM (ext4
was the format type)

When installing the guest, I selected to "use entire disk" and again I
did NOT use LVM (ext4 was the format type)


After installation, the guest reports I am using 23.8% of 4.84GB. Why
is the disk size 4.84GB instead of 12.88GB?

The size of the guest virtual disk is being reduced by almost a third?
