I use PVE 9 with an DELL ME4 iSCSI Storage. This storage is thin provisioned but don't handle unmap command. To avoid data loss zeroing out removed disks is enabled.

storage.cfg
Code:
lvm: pve001
        vgname vg_pve001
        base st001_01:0.0.21.scsi-3600c0ff00043f8ec590f3f6801000000
        content images,rootdir
        saferemove 1
        saferemove_throughput -1073741824
        shared 1

This task don't check if the disk is enabled and writes into RAM until is full.

zero-out data on image vm-28999-disk-2 (/dev/vg_rtx2st001_pve001/del-vm-28999-disk-2)


/dev is a RAM FS and I think before deletion the LV isn't enabled and the fill process needs to avoid creating files.
