[PVE-User] Creating VM with thin provisioning (please help me understand it).

[Mark Adams]

Atila - just to follow up on Giannis discard notes, depending on what OS
and filesystems you use inside of your VMs, you may need to run fstrim,
mount with different options, or run specific commands (ie zpool trim for
zfs) to get it all working correctly.

Regards,
Mark
