Thin provisioning on NFS

[Jason2312312]

Who can help me out, I don't remember thin provisioning being so difficult to set up on ESX...

What am I missing here?




I am currently running sdelete -z, which only seems to increase the space right now (it was 940GB free), maybe this helps but I don't have high hopes. There must be something fundamental I am missing which causes it to not work.


Any insight is highly appreciated.

There's nothing missed as qcow2 is doing that automatically for you:
l -h /nfs-path/images/148/vm-148-disk-0.qcow2
-rw-r----- 1 root root 61G Oct 1 18:00 148/vm-148-disk-0.qcow2
du -sh /nfs-path/images/148/vm-148-disk-0.qcow2
5.5G 148/vm-148-disk-0.qcow2
