Subject: [PATCH manager v3] fix #4503: ui: qemu: add detect zeroes disk option
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 13:49:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618115005.45266-1-l.sichert@proxmox.com> (raw)
When discard is enabled, qemu-server defaults to 'detect-zeroes=unmap'.
This can have a significant performance impact for zero writes on some
setups, while users might still want to keep guest discard/TRIM support
enabled.
Allow configuring the option independently so 'discard' can stay enabled
while zero detection is disabled. Persist the checkbox state explicitly,
as the backend treats an absent value as default-enabled behavior,
resulting in 'detect-zeroes=unmap' when 'discard' is enabled.
