Description

Currently we don't allow local storage to be overprovisioned.

On KVM we use QCOW2 which is sparsely allocated and also uses clones for deploying from templates.

This makes it possible to overprovision local storage as well, but currently StorageManagerImpl does not apply local storage over provisioning.
