So are you sure 20GB is enough disk space for the VM? I tried in a KVM VM (just to try the reproducer) and I get 'No space left on device' errors from fallocate.
In addition can you post the machine information someone in this bug so I can reproduce the exact setup on my end with vmware. Also to be clear, LVM _is_ required to reproduce the issue. Thanks for the overall great bug description and reproducer script! --chris -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1371591 Title: file not initialized to 0s under some conditions on VMWare To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1371591/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
