[Bug 1304593] [NEW] VMware: waiste of disk datastore when root disk size of instance is 0

 

Public bug reported:

When an instance has 0 root disk size an extra image is created on the
datastore (uuid.0.vmdk that is identical to uuid.vmdk). This is only in
the case of a linked clone image and waists space on the datastore. The
original image that is cached can be used.
