LVM-Thin Storage: Propagating Guest Trim to Host Thin Pool
Storage Reclamation in Proxmox VE 7.2 Proxmox VE 7.2 allows LVM-Thin storage to reclaim space when guest operating systems issue trim commands. This behavior depends on the interaction between the VM hardware configuration and the underlying block device support. To achieve storage efficiency, the storage must be defined as lvmthin and the VM hardware settin
