SL 6.6 x64 Hi All, 1) In virt-manager, when I allocate a new a new hard drive, I have a check-e-do that says "allocate entire disk now". It then goes on the create a new hard drive for me. Whether or not that check-e-do is checked, I get the entire size. Do I misunderstand that check box? I was thinking that unchecked meant that it was dynamically expanding up to the maximum allocated. Am I wrong? 2) When allocating a new hard drive, I have a choice of IDE, and two Virtio Disks. Do I need to have the KVM guest additions (spice-guest-tools and virtio-win) installed for Virtio disks to work? 3) What is the difference between and IDE and a Virtio disk? It the Virtio disk any faster? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners.
