Simon, Just to recap, I am trying to erase the free space only. I assume the new SAN is doing a block level copy, which is why it consumes the whole space. Once I erase the free space there is a reclamation process on the SAN that will make the disk thin/sparse. Yes, if I take a newly created thin disk, and do a file level restore or copy, the disk remains thin. For this example I have a disk called xvda. It has two partitions: xvda1 (swap) xvda2 (system) I would like to erase the free space on xvda2, which is running on sles11 with ext3. Several things were mentioned. If you don't mind repeating, what do you feel is the final solution?
