Create a VDI in an SR as large as possible
Hi,
I want to create an SR that has a single VDI that takes up all of the
available space of the SR.
The SR has some metadata on it, so I can't just set the size of the VDI
equal to the size of the SR.
Right now, I take the size of the SR and trim off some hard-coded number.
Anyone know how I can come up with this number dynamically?
Thanks!

Also, I've tried leaving the "virtualsize" property un-set, but it defaults
to a fairly small size.

Thanks for that info, Anthony.

Please notice the maximum size of VDI is 2T,

At one point I tried the following, but it didn't work (the VDI's size was set too high):
vdir.virtualSize = sr.getPhysicalSize(conn) - sr.getPhysicalUtilisation(conn);
