Re: [Xen-users] weird domU sizes - correction



I meant to say that my domUs are on that 1TB LVM and not 500GB.

Hi Javier,

My dom0 is 1TB and using LVM and so my domU files are on that 500GB LVM.

My nfs server is around 10TB and is XFS.

Would my image be a sparse file since I didn't allocate full image size at creation?

Hi all,

So I shutdown my domU (for backing it up) and do du -h
/var/lib/xen/images/host.img

... shows 18GB

So I copy it to my NFS mounted backup machine and upon doing a du -h
/nfs-share/backups/host.img

... show 7.6GB.

I log on to that NFS server and its still shows 7.6GB

So when I scp it to a remote filesystem the image shows as 300GB!

just guessing.... is your image a raw sparse file?, and the Dom0 and
NFS server have different blocksizes?
