Hyper-v 100GB virtual disk?

MartinVogt

Hi there

I just did a fresh install of the latest XG on a Server 2012R2 Hyper-V platform for testing purposes. I already running UTM 9 for some years... I wonder why the heck the XG blows up the virtual disk to 100GB? At the moment i don't have any traffic on this box, i don't think that this space is already in use. This is quiet inefficient on a virtualization platform. Is there a way to shring this disk or make use of thin provisioning?

Many thanks

    Hi Martin,

    you are using Hyper-V Image right? 

    If you want to have Thin-Prov or lower capacity on VHD.

    Try to use Software Installer in a newly created VM. 

    greetings,

    Hi Olli

    I have used the installer image this time. Thin provisioning (dynamically expanding) doesen't work, because XG formats the volumes at the very beginning of the setup routine an blows it up to appr. 40GB. I assume this is mainly caused by the reporting partition. I tried to use a fixed disk (10GB) this also seems to work, although it isn't optimal.

    But thanks anyway, i will do some furhter testing..
