[Fedora-xen] Guest Image File Size

virt-install has a checkbox which suggests that you can avoid 
preallocating the entire guest image size -- that the guest image file 
will grow on demand.

Does this work for Xen or is it only supported for KVM and the QEMU COW 
files?

My experience when creating Xen guests as regular files is that I end up 
with a file that is the full size even when I pick the option to not 
preallocate the entire image.
