Thanks for reply! >The allocation time will depend on how fast your ceph network is.
Actually, I asking about eliminate copy operation. In Ceph you can start images form snapshots and if you boot 100 VMs from one Image you will basically using only one large disk and 100 snapshots with data that will changed. This behaviour can be expected in opennebula somehow?
