Hi fellow Ovirt users,

I have a situation where I need to clone a database VM several times. I have a 
200GB thin allocated vdisk associated with it which had a large database on it.
I have since truncated several tables, removed bin logs etc. and reduced the 
disk usage to about 26GB. But the Ovirt UI still shows actual size at 185GB.

How would I go about reclaiming deleted blocks?

This would speed up the cloning process and obviously use a lot less space.

I goggled but did not find much on the topic except for a similar article for 
VMware

Thank you for your time!

Usman
