Adding new disk to already created lvm-thin volume?

[firestreak]

I've got a proxmox node that is using local-lvm as storage for my VM.

The local-lvm(lvm-thin) ran out of space, causing io-errors for my VM. I bought a new hard drive, but I'm unsure of how I can add it. Any help would be great!

Multiple guides/discussions are available on the topic both in the forum and on the wider net "proxmox extend local-lvm":

FYI I used this blog post, was what was most straight forward cause I don't/didn't have time to deep dive.

Mostly saving this for myself for next time I need to do it. Copying instructions here in case link ever dies.

fdisk -l
^find new disk

cfdisk /dev/sda (or whatever new disk for found is called)
> New -> Primary -> Specify size in MB
> Write
> Quit
^ format it

pvcreate /dev/sda1 (or whatever partition is called)
^ create volume

vgextend pve /dev/sda1
^ add new volume to lvm

lvextend /dev/pve/data -L +251.50g (whatever size is if new volume, use vgs command to find out)
^ increase volume of lvm to take advantage of new HD

This was very helpful. Searching through links and parsing threads to piece together answers can be a pain, so outlining your process was much appreciated.

I was hoping to do this with the GUI, but it doesn't appear to be possible.
