Hi All, I am not sure if this is the right behaviour but qcow2 image seems to grow when Centos is only formatting the image. I mean it goes upto 30 Gig once evrything is formatted and installed and it is minimal Centos install with no gui or apps just baseline. OS = Centos5 Virtualization: KVM Total Qcow2 Image Created = 1TB Once Centos is installed the qcow2 image shows as around 30 Gig. I have done several install and they were all less than 4 gig or even lesser but this seems to not make sense Can someone please explain what is going on? thansks -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
