I will take a closer look into this issue, because - as you already 
pointed out - there are some other commands that allocate disk images, 
but do not check for the storage's content type(s).

In particular it was for moving disks and cloning disks / VMs, but I 
will also check the behavior at other disk allocations with respect to 
the context of the call sites.

I forgot to mention it, but I did. I discovered that `pve-container` has 
a check in a "proxy" subroutine (`PVE::LXC::alloc_disk`) that will in 
turn call `PVE::Storage::vdisk_alloc` if it's okay to do so.

I had a talk with Fiona about this and we agreed that it would make 
sense to have a similar subroutine here as well. I will follow up with 
another patch (series) for this in the following days.
