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

    I use the software image and assign 20 to 30 GB hard drive. I don't use thin provisioning or use dynamic memory for my vms. I set up a 20GB drive for the vm in the last XG beta and upgraded it to the final version. I only have 3 users behind the XG but the disk usage seems to be fine. As Luk suggested, 80GB is not really that big but if you are using XG at home without excessive logging requirements, you can assign lower amounts to your XG vm.
