[Xen-users] weird domU sizes

[Brian Krusic <brian@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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!

This domU is actually set to have 300G but I didn't allocate all of  
the disk space during domU creation so that it can grow when needed.
Any ideas?  I would prefer some predictability here.

The domU (Centos 5.2) is using LVM.

My dom0 is also Centos 5.2 and the version that ships with it is Xen  
3.0.3 (according to rpm -qa | grep xen)
