If it worked for 1g disk, it should work for a bigger disk. If you can reproduce this again, please file a ovirt/vdsm bug and attach vdsm logs and /var/log/messages (or output of journalcltl). BTW, do you have a real need for wipe-after-delete? This can make deletion much slower, since it may need to allocate the entire disk on the server side for writing zeroes just to deallocate all space right after that when we discard the disk. This option is needed only if you want to ensure that sensitive data cannot leak to another disk on the same storage, maybe used by another tenant. > On Mon, Jul 12, 2021 at 1:10 AM Nir Soffer <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> On Sun, Jul 11, 2021 at 5:03 PM Ranesh Tharanga Perera >> <[email protected]> wrote: >> > >> > I have attached 7TB disk ( pre allocated) for VM ( Redhat 8 )..
