Dear DRBD on PVE users,

this is version 8.1.0 of the linstor-proxmox plugin. So far the plugin  
did not announce "sparesinit" for volumes that are on backing devices  
that are guaranteed to read 0s. The effect was that disk clones to such  
resources became thick. Now such clones should be thin (i.e., when all  
backing devices are on LVM\_THIN/ZFS\_THIN storage providers in LINSTOR).

Regards, rck
