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
