All storage types which have the 'Snapshots' feature also support thin
provisioning.
+CAUTION: If a storage runs full, all guests using volumes on that
+storage receives IO error. This can cause file system inconsistencies
+and may corrupt your data. So it is advisable to avoid
+over-provisioning of your storage resources, or carefully observe
+free space to avoid such conditions.
Storage Configuration
---------------------
...
----
-NOTE: There is one special local storage pool named `local`. It refers to
-the directory '/var/lib/vz' and is automatically generated at installation
-time.
-
The `<type>: <STORAGE_ID>` line starts the pool definition, which is then
followed by a list of properties. Most properties have values, but some of
them come with reasonable default. In that case you can omit the value.
+To be more specific, take a look at the default storage configuration
+after installation. It contains one special local storage pool named
+`local`, which refers to the directory '/var/lib/vz' and is always
+available. The {pve} installer creates additional storage entries
+depending on the storage type chosen at installation time.
