Hi, I've prox 4.1 (enterprise repo) and drbd9 cluster with thin provisioning enabled. I've seen that if I create a VM in drbd9 storage is correctly thin provisioned, but if I restore the VM then 100% (almost) of the space is alloccated.
i.e. I've backedup VM 108 and restored as VM 999, and lvs shows this:
Code:
root@prox01:~# lvs
  LV  VG  Attr  LSize  Pool  Origin Data%  Meta%  Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
  .drbdctrl_0  drbdpool -wi-ao----  4.00m   
  .drbdctrl_1  drbdpool -wi-ao----  4.00m   
  drbdthinpool  drbdpool twi-aotz--  1.42t  27.72  14.41   
[cut]
  vm-108-disk-1_00 drbdpool Vwi-aotz--  8.00g drbdthinpool  8.32   
  vm-999-disk-1_00 drbdpool Vwi-aotz--  8.00g drbdthinpool  99.98   
  data  pve  -wi-ao---- 100.44g   
  root  pve  -wi-ao----  46.50g   
  swap  pve  -wi-ao----  23.25g

Is it a bug or something I'm missing?
Thanks in advance
