We are creating an OVF of a RHEL 5.4 64 Bit Guest OS. The guest VM is created with 30 GB VMDK (thin provisioning). The total size of the occupied space is 11GB. But when we are exporting the OVF size is 16 GB.
A similar Guest VM where the occupied space was 9GB, the exported OVF size is 9.5 GB. Need some help / pointer which will help us in understanding the size of the OVF.
