Hi all,

I am new to proxmox so please forgive any stupid questions...

I have a very special IO workload in my VMs and I found out that qcow2 disks have optimal performance for me with a "large" cluster_size (1M) and preallocation=metadata (or perallocation=full). It seems that I can not set these options from the GUI or am I missing something?

Is there a config file where I could set the defaults for hard disk creation (or migration)?

Thanx and Regards
Thomas
