Hi,

I'm running xen on centos 5.2 x86_64 that is totally updated. When I build a new system I pick the store to file, and I chose not to allocate the entire disk yet, as I know I wont need all the room yet , but will be adding more sooner than later.

Soon as I kick off the install, I look in /var/lib/xen/images and I see my image at 100GB, even though I specified it not to use the hole disk.

Any thoughts on how to correct this guy? Is this a bug of some sort that is doing this, or is this the expected behavior?

Many thanks,

Charlie
