Hi,

What's the underlying storage? local zfs?
Does it have thin provisioning / sparse enabled?

You can check that forum post: 
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/zfs-enable-thin-provisioning.41549/

Also inside the VM, make sure that all the stack is discard aware, LVM, 
filesystem and all..

Regards,
Gilou
