I'm not familiar with the intricacies of the OVF, but the contained disk images might also be sparse by default (which is very common for VM images) and when encrypting their whole filesystem as it is done with dm-crypt they can't remain sparse from an outside point of view. _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list [email protected] https://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
