Hello,

I am wondering why it takes so long to provision a HDD for a VM? I typically do full provision (as opposed to "thin" provision) and while I have never sat there and timed it, it takes at least ten minutes to provision a 32GB HDD. I provisioned a 100GB HDD earlier today and even after 45 minutes it was not complete.

I am from the VMware world where it takes less than a minute (usually more like 30 seconds or so) to provision a VM, regardless of HDD assigned.

My host's physical HDD's are 2x2TB SATA drives in a hardware RAID1. oVirt storage is an NFS pool connecting to my host machine (for all intents and purposes, local storage)

I wonder if I have things mis-configured? Is it normal for provisioning to take that long?

Thanks! :-)

-Alan
