I've installed Proxmox VE 5.2, but as far as I'm aware it uses thin provisioning out of the box. Is it possible to use fat/thick provisioning? I basically want to allocate all the disk space in advance for each virtual hard disk.
 
it's one way to do it yes. I would add 'is_mountpoint: 1' to the definition of the 'local' storage to prevent PVE from activating the storage (and creating the default sub directories) unless the LV is properly mounted.
