Adding a cloned disk becomes thick provisioned

Hi,

 

I am running ESXi in my home lab. I am using the CLI to clone a server. When I add the disk to a new machine that I cloned from a thin disk, it comes in as thick. It was thin provisioned when the disk was made, The CLI says it is going to be thin. What have I missed? I am taking the clone from a snapshot. Below is the command I used and the result.

[root@localhost:~] vmkfstools -i /vmfs/volumes/Internal_SSD/”Windows 2012 r2 Template”/”Windows 2012 r2 Template_0-000001.vmdk” /vmfs/volumes/USB-Datastore/”Windows 2012 r2 Template”/”Windows 2012 r2 Template.vmdk” -d thin
Destination disk format: VMFS thin-provisioned
Cloning disk ‘/vmfs/volumes/Internal_SSD/Windows 2012 r2 Template/Windows 2012 r2 Template_0-000001.vmdk’…
Clone: 100% done.
