[SOLVED] Disable ZFS thin provisioning using the auto-install answer file

[SCO]

Good day,

We have used the Proxmox auto install feature using the `answer.toml` file since the release of this feature which is working really well for us.
I was wondering if there was a parameter that we could use to disable thin provisioning for the automatic rpool creation?
Looking in the docs I was unable to find anything regarding this feature.

Kind regards,
SCO

Update:
I found out about the sparse 0 parameter in /etc/pve/storage.cfg which disables thin-provisioning even after install.
I will add this to my playbook for further config.

Hi,

there is indeed no dedicated option for this.
But it is fairly easy to do it via a first-boot script using e.g.:

pvesm set local-zfs -sparse false

(That's a big reason why we have this feature - to provide a convenient way to customize an installation!)

If you really need a separate installer option, you can always file a feature request in our bug tracker with your use case: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/
