IMO you should try to always ask the user before doing something he might not agree with. Allocating disk space and bandwidth is something I believe many users will care about - hence I think we should ask about it. For cross-platform support reasons I think the settings belong to the wizard. I think neither datastore nor bandwidth should be allocated/used before user has agreed on the settings. > Also, our current rules may be in need of some revision: > > Datastore size: > 256MB if <5GB free > 512MB if <=10GB free > 10% if <=20GB free > 5% if >20GB free > > A simpler formula would probably be better.
