Title:
  Thin provisioned VMDKs are being deployed as thick

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When launching new instances of VMs using thin provisioned VMDK images
  uploaded to glance, the virtual disk is actually deployed as thick
  provisioned.

  Scenario:

  1. Upload thin provisioned VMDK to glance:

      $ wget http://partnerweb.vmware.com/programs/vmdkimage/trend-
  tinyvm1-flat.vmdk

  2. Create new instance using image:

      $ glance image-create --name "test_image" --is-public=True
  --container-format=bare --disk-format=vmdk --property
  vmware_disktype="thin" --property vmware_adaptertype="ide" < trend-
  tinyvm1-flat.

  3. Use vSphere to check provision type

  Expected: Type should be thin provisioned 
  Actual: Type is Thick Provision Eager Zeroed
