NFS Thin Provisioning becomes thick after creation

$

Hi,

 

We use a Windows Server 2012 Storage Server as our SAN and NAS system. Works perfectly, even with NFS on Windows.

 

Our NFS-LUN is a LUN we keep our templates on for VMs.

When we create VMs on the NFS-LUN, the wizard only let's you choose for Thin Provisioning, which is normal and good since we only use the datastore for templates.

However: the second after they are created we look at the settings of the VM and it says Eager Zeroed Thick Provisioned.

This is confirmed when we look at the NAS-side, the NFS export only shows vmdk-files of their full size ...

Can anyone shed a light please?

 

Extra (has nothing to do with the question above): is there a VAAI plugin for Windows Server as a SAN?

 

Thanks in advance
